Singer launches competition to discover new talents

Nigerian R&B rave Praiz is launching a new project that aims to project music, in his genre of R&B, as well as upcoming acts on the scene.

The artiste, who is also Hennessy brand ambassador, announced the project on his Instagram page.

Praiz who is still reeling off the success of his R&B concert for the cognac brand in August 2015, is embarking on this project as a musical debut for new acts with the release of a 6-track EP that will feature the artiste himself on each of the tracks. The post features a 1-minute video of the artiste rendering a track off his album, and a message on his social media page calling out to new acts, and friends of new acts to collaborate on this project.

“I'm looking for dope underground singers who need a chance to prove their worth... Wanna work on a 6 track E.P with them... Tag someone who has amazing vocals to cover this song, post on Instagram and mention me with the tag #PraizFortheloveofrnb #RnB #richandfamous”

The post triggered a lot of positive responses from fans and followers on instagram, generating positive feedback; most of it linked to the singer’s launch into the music industry off a reality show.

Praiz has described the response to his announcement as phenomenal; According to the singer, the response has been awesome.

“I had a brilliant awakening, R&B as a genre needs to be nurtured or else we would lose our essence. The craft in R&B is poetic, it is art, it paints a picture of emotions wrapped in beauty and life, R&B simply cannot be ignored”.

Praiz recently released the video for his single 'Lost in you' with Sammy. Watch it below.
