EVENT: When Project Fame All-Star Concert and Auditions Lit Up Ilorin

The easy going Ilorin community trooped out in large number on Friday to be part of this year’s Project Fame All-Star concert held in their city at the weekend. For obvious and understandable reasons, this was not unexpected - 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. Sean Tizzle was a handful as he used his gift and stage craft to hold the audience spell-bound leaving 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 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 ‘Kedike’ crooner delivered a gusto performance. She started by urging a minute silence for the singer, 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 songstress.

The icing on the cake were performances by D’Prince and Sound Sultan. D’Prince was hilarious. He exemplified what every Mavin act epitomises: 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,  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 auditions will take place in Port Harcourt and Ibadan. That will be a week from now. The next concert will be held in Lagos, exactly two weeks from the last concert in Ilorin. The venue is the LTV Lagos premises. According to the organisers, it promises to be fun with MTN ambassadors and Project Fame past contestants in attendance.
