– Raise young gospel musicians that would serve as role models for the younger generation.

– Ignite the passion for a closer relationship with God in other for young people to get inspiration for the emancipation of African continent.

– Present a unique contemporary innovation that will give hope, soothe hearts, and uplift God’s royal banner in these days of unease.

According to MFI Xquisite Koncepts, for 8 weeks, 30 contestants from across Africa will be selected through an audition to be trained by a team of seasoned gospel music ministers, during which they would compete for the top position. There would be regional screenings to select the top 30 contestants across the continent.
