After a 6 month process that saw hopeful aspirants make more than 2.3 million calls; the Airtel Trace Music Star Competition is finally coming to a close and announcing its continental winner.
Finalists from the twelve participating countries will be judged one last time on the 28th of March at the Enashipai Resort & Spa with the pan-african winner taking home a recording deal, promotion and mentorship campaigns totaling at over half a million US dollars.
The lucky person to walk away with the prize is going to have to gunner votes from the public who will be voting via SMS, while the judges- Akon, Devyne Stephens and Lynnsha from the French Carribean- will have control on about 25% of the vote. Public voting is open until March 25th.
Footage of the grand finale will air on the 8th of April from 8pm on Trace music channels and select national free to air TV channels. The finale will be hosted by Wanjira Longauer and Capso while Benjamin Webi will be representing Kenya in the competition.
