Music enthusiasts trooped out in large number last Friday, to be part of this year’s Project Fame All-Star concert which held in the city at the weekend. It wasn’t unexpected though – considering that fast-rising hip hop sensation, Sean Tizzle, Project Fame Season 2 winner, Chidinma; Mavin’s D’Prince and veteran artiste Sound Sultan were in town.
The show itself lived up to expectations, as Sean Tizzle’s stage craft held no one in doubt that he is made for greater things. The crowd comprising largely students of the two tertiary institutions in the ancient city was pleased by the MTN brand ambassador.
One of the students who were at the concert expressed his satisfaction with the young artiste’s performance saying, ‘Sean Tizzle is more in tune with the desire of the youths and I’m happy to see him perform live’.
Chidinma Ekile, the ‘Miss Kedike’ crooner delivered a gusto performance. She started by urging a second silence for the actress, Keffe, who was reported dead that morning. The mood occasioned by the departed songstress gave way for a lively and engaging performance by the petite actress.
The crown of it all was performances by D’Prince and Sound Sultan. D’Prince was hilarious. He exemplified what every Mavin act stands for: stage craft and energy. Sound Sultan showed up with his full band. They were a marvel all through the night.
There were great performances from Project Fame’s past contestants such as Adetoun and Omolayo. The two lived up to their rising profile: the former as the ‘next Waka Queen’, the latter as the next classical music biggest artiste. Meanwhile, the auditions to select a new batch of contestants for this year’s Project Fame academy also took place in the city, precisely at Kwara Hotel.
Hundreds of youth trooped out to audition for the reality show. Also in Abuja, report has it that the audition staged in the nation’s capital was well attended. It was reported that an enthusiastic youth population came in droves to exhibit their talents for a chance to be famous and rich.
The next audition will take place in Port Harcourt and Ibadan. That will be a week from now. More so, the next concert will be held in Lagos, exactly two weeks from the last concert in Ilorin. The concert will be held at the LTV Lagos premises. According to the organisers, it promises to be fun with MTN ambassadors and Project Fame past contestants in attendance.
