MTN Nigeria has announced that the search for music superstars has begun again, but this time the name is different. Introducing… MTN Y’ello Star Music Talent Show.
Leading ICT company held a surprise announcement on Sunday, February 16, 2020 at their head offices at Falomo, Ikoyi. The show seeks to groom musical talent by providing a lifetime opportunity to turn their dreams and aspirations into reality.
Since 2006, through the MTNF/MUSON Scholarship Programme, MTN Nigeria has trained hundreds of young Nigerians in the art and business of music. Y’ello Star takes this further by bringing the process of creating the ultimate superstar to every Nigerian television screen.
How to apply for MTN Y’ello Star
Online auditions and submissions on the MTN app and across social media platforms begin today. Any Nigerian above the age of 18, regardless of what mobile network they use can audition to be a part of the show. All applicants have to do is post a video of themselves singing a song of their choice on social media, tag @mtnng and use the official hashtag, #MTNYelloStar.
