MTN Hitmaker produces stars

Music talent shows have become a notable fixture on television with a number of contestants from these shows often going on to have successful careers.

Mention can be made of shows like Stars of the Future and Mentor which have given us stars like Efya, Irene Logan, Kaakie, Cee, Kesse among others. Mentor and Stars of the Future are now part of TV history but in their absence, MTN Hitmaker is now filling the gap.

In the six years that MTN has been scouting for talent, it has discovered acts like Naterial, Koo Ntakra, Togbe, Kidi and Kelvin.

Currently, three of the hottest acts in Ghana today are all products from the MTN Hitmaker- Music Reality TV show; Kurlsongz, Kidi and Kuami Eugene. With hot tracks like Jennifer Lomotey, Odo and Angela, the boys have warmed their way into the hearts of music lovers who jam to their songs.

From CD purchases to online downloads, the three have maintained commendable ratings on major charts with the latest being their strong dominance in the top 3 spots on the Shazam Charts for Accra and the top 5 spots Charts Ghana.

Koo Ntakra, winner for season two is a formidable force to reckon with when it comes to rap music in Ghana while Togbe, winner of season three, is also doing well on the charts.

Already, the race for this year’s winner of MTN Hitmaker has begun.

Paired for their first performance last week, the contestants had only one task, to impress the judging panel made up of TV/ radio host, Caroline Sampson,entertainment critic, Francis Doku and award winning music producer, Kaywa to ensure they get a slot in the final 12.

This year’s edition, dubbed: ‘The Next Level’ has Berla Mundi and Giovani Caleb as hosts.
