Less than a month after the successful execution of 2016 urban lifestyle fest to open a new page in the
subject of musical artistry and the entertainment industry in Kaduna city, BHP and KROCKCITY
DEGREEZ, the major media partner during the ULF2016 project came together in a collective effort to
create a platform where musical artists, fans and potential stakeholders in the music business can reunite
once every month to share music, ideas and network.
This will provide artistic young people with a conducive environment to exhibit their talents on monthly bases from the grass root in order to enhance
ability, boost credibility and acceptance.
One Mic Stand is set to take place every first Sunday of the month, starting on Sunday the 5th of February
2017 at MG GRANDE HOTELS formerly known as PALM PALACE near valid filling station Ungwuan Boro, in the SABO region of the metropolis.
Each session will commence by 5:00 pm as gates will open while the proper show starts at 6:00 pm to ensure that every participant whether audience or artists
have taken their spaces and order is restored to the environment before any preceedings.
Music, poetry and spokenwords will be the major art forms to be exhibited at One Mic Stand therefore any individual artists or groups who feel they got what it takes to be superstars and masters of their crafts are welcomed to participate in this arena which has a good outdoor space, a stage and a bar in case of any need to cool of the steam.
Artists will be provided with a registration form which will be sold to them after their
music or poetry have been screened for quality to ensure that a standard is set that only the best in circulation gets 1 out of the 12 slots that will be provided for each session.
Artist interested in participating
are advised to secure their forms more than a week before the date for each month to avoid any complications.
An all round regular ticket will be sold to the audience at the venue for N500 each and only a limited supply will be printed for each session therefore punctually will be a major factor in gaining entrance like a first come first served situation. The audience will consist of music enthusiast within and outside KD, fans and critics, artist and event managers, bloggers, on air personalities (TV/Radio), record labels A&R’s and potential investors.
This will make it easy for any talent to be spotted and for new stars to rise within KD.
This is a necessary step to take in the building of a vibrant version of the music and entertainment industry
in Kaduna city where a significant number of youth has shown enormous interest and effort in the localization of the hip hop music culture and its development into a structure which can provide economic
emancipation in the future.
Through various platforms a few has been able to single handedly attain that
prospect but a good number are still trying to grow artistically.
A performing artist is not complete without a performance and regular performances help in the buildup process of an artist’s career and the building of a loyal fan base. With proper work and a truly united effort,
activities like this will surely leave a better entertainment industry in KD and more enlightened youth with all sort of artistic abilities will become a characteristic of this great city once again as it was before in the
days of KD world record e.t.c.
Therefore everyone one is invited ‘let’s make croc city great again.
