20 Talents Battle For N5m In Airtel Headies Mic Check Competition

20 talents will battle it out for the grand prize of a brand new car and N5 million, at the Airtel’s Headies Mic Check Competition.

After an audition that saw the entry of over 2,000 Nigerians, the Headies mic check competition has now moved to the live show stage where the top 20 talents will compete with each other.

The Mic Check talent hunt is organised as one of the build-up events of the 16th Headies Award, which has been scheduled to hold on September 3, 2023 in Atlanta, USA.

The auditions saw thousands of aspiring Nigerian musical talents troop into Lagos from different states across the country. Each contestant was required to sing songs that suited the texture of their voice, written either by them or their favourite artists.

In his congratulatory message to the contestants who made it to the live finals, chief commercial officer, Airtel Nigeria, Femi Oshinlaja, noted that, Airtel is proud to support home-grown talents and can not wait to see them get to the height of success.
