Una Rams Celebrates First Metro FM Award Win With Wife Ntando Rambani in Emotional Milestone Moment
It’s been a long time coming for Una Rams, and his latest achievement has marked a powerful chapter in his music career. After first stepping into international recognition with a Grammy award certificate in 2022, many would assume that future wins might feel routine for the artist. That assumption could not be further from reality. His recent Metro FM Award win proved that each milestone still carries deep emotional weight. The singer, songwriter, and software engineer took home the Best RnB Song award for Priceless Possession, a moment that quickly became one of the most talked about highlights of the weekend. Standing beside him were his wife, media personality Ntando Rambani, and his brother Mathew Rambani, both sharing in the joy of a victory that felt deeply personal.
The celebration did not end on stage, as the trio could not contain their excitement backstage. Videos circulated of them passing around the silver accolade, laughing and recording memories that captured the raw joy of the moment. For Ntando Rambani, the experience was overwhelming in the best way possible. Speaking shortly after the ceremony, she described the moment as surreal and emotionally charged. She also made it clear that her husband’s win was well deserved, highlighting the discipline and consistency behind his craft. According to her, Una Rams balances multiple demanding roles, including being a husband, father, software engineer, and musician, which makes his success even more meaningful.
Ntando’s pride was visible as she reflected on the journey behind the winning song. Priceless Possession carries a special meaning, as it was dedicated to her, adding a deeply personal layer to the recognition. She expressed confidence that his hard work would eventually pay off, even before the win was announced. Her support extended beyond emotional presence, as she actively campaigned for votes during the award season, even jokingly embracing a new Venda accent to rally support. Their relationship, now a year into marriage, continues to draw attention for its visible affection and mutual encouragement, especially in moments of public success.
Una Rams himself described the award as a form of validation for his dreams and creative direction. He shared that even though he has received international acknowledgment, including recognition linked to the Grammy platform, winning a Metro FM Award on home soil carried a different kind of significance. He explained that standing on stage and receiving the award reinforced his belief to continue pushing forward. At one point during the celebration, he admitted that the excitement was so intense it felt physically overwhelming. The moment reflected not just success, but a confirmation of years of persistence in the music industry.
Musically, Una Rams continues to stand out for his unique blend of RnB infused with Venda lyrics and emotional storytelling. His sound carries a distinct identity that connects modern rhythm with cultural roots, while maintaining a strong focus on themes of love and emotional healing. He emphasized that his music is not created in isolation, but as a shared experience with listeners who connect with his message. He credited his wife as his biggest blessing and inspiration, reinforcing how personal relationships shape his creative output. His confidence in his artistic identity remains strong as he continues to describe himself as a leading voice in modern RnB.
The Metro FM Awards event itself was a major celebration of South African music, marking 20 years of the awards ceremony and 40 years of Metro FM on air. Hosted by Lawrence Maleka and Lerato Kganyago, the event brought together major names from the entertainment industry. One of the emotional highlights included Wilson B Nkosi receiving a Long Service Award, recognised for his longstanding contribution to broadcasting and music culture. The audience also honoured Maskandi legend Bheki “Ihashi Elimphlophe” Ngobo with a Lifetime Achievement Award, celebrating a career that began in childhood with a handmade instrument and a deep passion for music.
For Una Rams, this moment stands as both a professional breakthrough and a personal celebration. His win reflects years of dedication, discipline, and creative growth that continue to shape his journey in the industry. With strong support from his family and a growing audience that connects with his sound, his future in music looks firmly established. The Metro FM Award adds another layer to a career already marked by international recognition, but it also reinforces his presence in the local music landscape. As he continues to evolve, this victory serves as a reminder that persistence and authenticity still matter in building lasting success.
