MTN Project Fame All Stars Concerts to start on Friday

No doubt, 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. The concert is billed for Calabar this weekend, June 21, 2013, and next week in Lagos on Friday 28, June 2013. Tagged ‘All-Stars Concert’, it is expected to live up to the hypes and buzz already building up around the country.
 The music reality show’s past winners and runners-up, who have become household names across the continent, like Iyanya, Chidinma, Praiz, Nicholas, Kesse, Musulyn, Adetoun and a dozen others will be lighting up the cities.
Meanwhile, the concert is already generating excitement, especially among the youths who have been clamouring for a live performance from their music icons who they watched nurtured into super-stars, on the their television screens. Notable among them is Iyanya who survived one of the greatest odds, ever known, to become the reality show’s winner in 2008. He recently burst on to the global scene 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 name
Next is Kesse. This multi-talented Ghanaian musician is topping music charts both on radio and television 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. She is also currently a media favourite in her home country.
Others too have not done badly. Mike showed a flicker of talent when he released his ‘Fine Fine Baby’ single a year after winning the MTN Project Fame’s ultimate prize. Adetoun is the reincarnation of Queen Abeni Salawa’s extraordinary talent. She is already being taunted as a replacement for the ‘Waka Queen’
Need it be mentioned, as well, that these stars are already award winners. Iyanya received the Headies Hip Hop Award last year. Chidinma has won the most prestigious music award in Africa, KORA. Kesse was recently awarded the Ghanaian Music Award, an equivalent of Headies Hip-Hop award in Nigeria
Apparently, 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 set the Nigeria music scene ablaze with audacious performances that are expected to be a shadow of what is to be expected when the reality show itself begins later in July this year.
