“Naija Star Search is fashioned to be an exclusive Afrobeats show, the first of its kind in the country,” Tunde Aina, chief operating officer for StarTimes, said at the program’s launch this month.

“Naija Star Search is fashioned to be an exclusive Afrobeats show, the first of its kind in the country,” Tunde Aina, StarTimes’ chief operations officer, announced earlier this month.

“Ultimately, the goal is to discover the next promising talents with the potential to blow. Top performing talents will work with Kennis Music, who will groom, mentor, produce and market their songs to a music-loving audience in Nigeria and Africa.”

The show’s judges include Kenny Ogungbe, the executive director of a music label; ID Cabasa, an emerging music producer; and Asha Gangali, the singer.

“We want to make this platform where the next generation of Afrobeats stars are discovered and nurtured,” Cabas stated. 

“So we are looking out for talents who will not just be a flash in the pan but have longevity and at the same time, still preserve the Afrobeats sound.”

“To promote an artiste now, you would need millions of naira. This platform was set up to push them even when they didn’t have that push. So, any outstanding talent in this reality show would come out with great potential. We will be training them on songwriting, how to record their songs and how to sustain themselves in the industry since it’s easier to blow than sustain oneself in the industry.”

In his own words, Kenny Ogungbe said: 

“Afrobeats will never die. The people sustaining it now are in their mid-20s and 30s. To sustain it, we need to groom new talents in their teens so that in the next 10 years, we will still have those holding it. We are here for the future to project the beauty of Naija music”.

Watch ‘Naija Star Search’ on StarTimes

Every Sunday at 8 p.m., Naija Star Search airs on ST Nollywood Plus, ST Nollywood, and ST Yoruba channels on StarTimes, as well as on the StarTimes-ON app.
