Alongside Glen Andrew Brown, Tendai is also a member of neo-soul duo Tendai + Glen. Tendai + Glen are a London-based duo featuring Zimbabwean-born singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Tendai Humphrey Sitima and British-born, BAFTA Award-winning composer/producer Glen Andrew Brown.
Proudly wearing their influences in Jazz, Soul, Pop, and R&B, Tendai + Glen create an exciting new sound tied together with slick production. Blending deep grooves, jazz harmony, stacked vocals, poetic lyrics, and soaring melodies, this creative duo has stumbled on a sound that captures the feeling of growing up proudly in the modern era. Tendai + Glen’s music feels honest, intimate, and personal yet draws on universal themes of love, identity, struggle, self-belief, and growth.
