She told Journalists in Lagos that M-Net’s decision to launch season two is in line with its commitment to continuously invest in Nigeria and help discover raw talents.
She said M-Net was pleased with the results of season 1 of the show and so made the decision to launch season 2.
“With Naija Sings, M-Net created a format uniquely suited to the soaring voices, the passionate determination and the undeniable talent of Nigerians. Last season, both M-Net and our audiences celebrated with the contestants, we sang with them, grew with them, learnt with them and ultimately triumphed with them. This year, to bring back NAIJA SINGS a second season, is something we’re very proud of,” she said.
And more good news from M-Net this year is that legendary Nigerian music icon, Tosin Martins, will play a central role in the production as a key judge travelling from auditions in different cities to the TOP 10 stage, to be filmed in Lagos.
In addition, this year will also see the inclusion of special celebrity judges who add their expert opinion to the series and a fan favourite, once again the studio audiences will be able to comment on the performances, adding their own thoughts and sometimes humorous insights to the feedback.
The season hits the airwaves September 19 but auditioning commences 15th July at Phillips Warehouse, Lagos, Benin City (Constantial Hotel), 17th July, Enugu, 20th July (Dannic Hotel), Port Harcourt (Hotel Presidential), 23rd July, Calabar (Culture Centre), 26th July, Kano (Royal Tropicana), 31st July And Abuja (Bolingo), 3rd August.
