The music reality show premieres on 29th February, 2020 on MTV Base, while winner would be announced at a grand finale where the finalists are expected to perform alongside some of Nigeria’s best artistes in the music industry.
This is coming after the nationwide auditions where 12 contestants emerged from Abeokuta, Lagos, Abuja, Calabar, Onitsha and Owerri respectively.
The organisers said prospective contestants, unable to participate at the regional levels, were encouraged to post a 60-second video audition on social media as online entries, with the public voting for the top entries.
“The top 27 videos with the highest likes were announced, as celebrity judges Seyi Shay, Kaffy and Tee-Y Mix narrowed down this pool to the most talented five, and with further elimination, a lucky contestant was chosen.
“The stars aligned for Anna James, a certified accountant and an aspiring artist who has been chosen to be the 13th Access The Stars contestant.
“Her cover of Peruzzi’s Majesty went viral last year. She recently released a video for her debut single “You”.
“Anna James will join the 12 contestants chosen during the regional auditions in the Access The Stars Bootcamp.
“To watch auditions and performances each week, tune in to every Saturday and Sunday respectively. To catch up on all the action, watch repeat shows on Accelerate TV,” they stated.
