The third edition of the MTN Hit-Maker music talent hunt will be launched on Friday, July 25 at the MTN Head Office, Ridge Towers in Accra.

The programme was initiated in 2012 as a platform to help emerging talents get exposure, learn from experienced industry professionals and also record their own material.

The first contest was won by Naterial with Miriam as the runner-up. Both artistes have since put out their debut albums and also performed at various shows across the country.

Koo Ntakara was winner of the second edition. He recently put out two singles: Go Harder and Tititantor.

“We are happy MTN Hit-Maker contestants are making some impact on the music scene. We believe they can do more and we will keep encouraging them to reach higher heights,” an MTN Events spokesperson said.
