MTN super-stars rock Lagos



Lagos was recently lit up for the MTN Project Fame’s All-Stars Concert with electrifying performances from the Academy’s famous alumni and their colleagues.
 Most spectacular was the rousing duet by the telecommunications company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Larry Annettes with KCEE of ‘Limpopo fame’, Iyanya and Wizkid.

 It was a great master-piece and kudos must go to the telecommunications company for bringing together such an array of music stars, in justification of its ‘Can-do’ spirit and leadership, when it comes to supporting its host communities or helping young people to achieve their dreams.
Praiz and Iyanya had sang about this unusual bridge between dreams and realities in ‘Rich and Famous’ and ‘Kukere’.
Giving vent to youths’ dreams by providing the right platform for aspiring musical talents to excel, Nigeria’s foremost telecommunication’s company, MTN, has produced scores of music super-stars whose nationality spread across the West African sub-region. Notable among these music supers-stars are Iyanya, one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, Chidinma, Praiz and Kesse.
Remarkably, these musical stars and rare personalities have risen to super-stardom in less than five years, after they participated in Africa’s most popular musical reality, the MTN Project Fame West Africa.
It was for that unmatched record that the All-Stars Concert was organised to celebrate and showcase how well young ones can be groomed without allowing them to go through the frustrating uncertainty of endless hassles that is accustomed to the musical industry.
  The youths who have participated in the MTN Project Fame’s musical reality shows surely sparkle with rare professionalism such that when a select few among them featured in the just concluded All-Stars Concert, the audience was left wondering if they were not legends already.
 From Yetunde ‘Omo’badan’s’ gorgeous look to Adetoun’s effortless vocal range, equaling that of Chidinma and Monica’s seamless tonality, there is much to cheer and great hope for young female music talents that are already auditioning in Lagos for the reality show.
Interestingly, Mike, the winner of the second edition has transformed. He gave a gusto performance. Ayo, the recent winner, is digging deep into Afro-beats. Kesse and Nii, from Ghana, were a masterpiece. Kesse who recently won the Ghana Music Award was a runner-up to Nigeria’s Chidinma, at the third edition of Project Fame.
Apparently, Wizkid and KCEE had come to celebrate MTN’s ‘can-do’ spirit having produced such an outstanding number of musicians in five years. Little wonder, Wizkid did a duet with Iyanya and Chidinma separately.
The concert was graced by who-is-who in the music industry. Meanwhile, the opening gala of the reality show is scheduled for July 27, amid glitz and razzmatazz.
