Project Fame update: Geoffrey launches EP, as judges unveil finalists

After emerging the winner last season, Geoffrey returned with loads of success stories as he launched his 7-track EP, Bursted. Apart from the mind blowing performances of some of his hit tracks, he also took a moment to appreciate the platform that has contributed greatly to his success story. Geoffrey is not the only testimonial of Season 7. Ugo and Emeka also showed how much they have been making the best use of all they learnt when they graced the stage to perform. Emeka’s performance particularly filled the air with nostalgia when he was joined on stage by some of the Season 7 finalists, namely Christian, Ugo and Geoffrey. The remaining seven contestants this season, who are also hoping to join these ones in the Hall of Fame got a pleasant surprise when the judges announced that they have all made it to the final lap of the competition, hence no one was eliminated. These final seven contestants then went ahead to thrill everyone with performances of some all-time best reggae songs. The judges, including Cobhams Asuquo (guest judge) and faculty spoke highly of each of the contestants for how much they have grown. Meanwhile, in collaboration with 960 Music, Ultima Productions, PFWA’s producer, is launching a contestant/artist collaboration segment to the competition. In this new segment, contestants are paired with an established artist to remake his/her song, as well as create a new song together with renowned producers and songwriters. The hit producers selected to work with the contestants are Password, Shizzi, Sarz, Del B, Selebobo, DJ Coublon and Cobhams Asuquo. Password will also double as a songwriter with Monica Ogah. The idea behind this new initiative is to give the contestants a feel of the real world, before they exit the Academy. This is similar to Geoffrey's partnership with 960 Music, which helped him launch his professional career after winning Project Fame last year.
