Since the online launch of the Digicel and Machel Montano Music Academy, over one hundred and fifty up and coming singers, songwriters and producers have submitted their entries to be a part of what fans are calling; “an amazing initiative and a great opportunity to make someone’s dreams come true.”
The Digicel and Machel Montano Music Academy gives nine talented individuals from across the region the opportunity to be mentored and coached by Machel and other top personalities from the music industry at a three-day Academy, which will be hosted in Jamaica from December 19-22 at GeeJam Studios, which is also a proud sponsor of the Music Academy.
To qualify to be a part of the Digicel and Machel Music Academy, artistes are encouraged to upload videos of their original songs to YouTube and submit them at www.digicelgroup.com/MusicAcademy from now until November 26, 2017.
A release from Digicel SVG, says that songwriters and producers can upload lyric videos and/or songs that they have written or beats/riddims that they have produced for a chance to be among the three singers, three songwriters and three producers to participate in the Academy.
The public will also be able to view the entries and vote for their favourite talent from November 27 to December 10 at www.digicelgroup.com/MusicAcademy.
Coming out of the Academy, one person will also win an opportunity to perform with Machel Montano live at the 2018 staging of his Machel Monday concert in Trinidad and Tobago.
