MTN Project Fame: Making history with a collection of stars


History is being made as MTN Project Fame becomes the first music reality TV show in Nigeria to gather past stars for a mega concert tagged All Stars Concert. Read more 

The concert is billed for Calabar tomorrow and next week in Lagos on Friday 28, June 2013.
The music reality show’s past winners and runners-up, who have become household names across the continent are Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz, Nicholas, Kesse, Musulyn, Adetoun and others will enliven the cities.
The concert is generating excitement among youths, who have been clamouring for a live performance from their music icons, whom they have watched become super-stars.
Notable among them is Iyanya, who has surmounted some hurdles before him. He has gained international recognition with his Kukere and peculiar dance style. He has just returned from a successful tour of the UK.
There is also Praiz whose current value transcends all high-value social engagements. His song ‘Super-star’ is as well in high demand among the youths who are brimming with ambition. Most of these youths find his songs highly intelligent and inspiring. Besides, his vocal ability is endearing.
Chidinma won the hearts of Africa’s music fans with her Kedike afro hip-hop song. Since she released her first single, the determined young lady has gone ahead to win a wider acclaim from authorities in Africa’s music industry. Already, she has two albums to her credit.
Next is Kesse, a  multi-talented Ghanaian musician. He is on top of music charts both on broadcast staions in the country. He is even expanding into Nigeria and other West African countries. His debut single O Yes is a rare combination of rich lyrics and beats. He will be coming into the country in company of Musulyn, a Liberian diva, who was a finalist on the reality show, last year.
Mike showed a flicker of talent when he released his Fine Fine Baby single, a year after winning the MTN Project Fame. Adetoun is the reincarnation of Queen Abeni Salawa’s extraordinary talent. She is already being taunted as a replacement for the ‘Waka Queen’.
These stars have won various awards. Iyanya received the Headies Hip Hop Award last year. Chidinma has won the KORA music award. Kesse was recently won the Ghanaian Music Award, an equivalent of Headies Hip-Hop award in Nigeria.
In the next two weeks, these youthful products of the most popular and productively enduring musical reality show in Africa, MTN Project Fame West Africa, will ignite the Nigerian music scene with their performances which will come up next July.
