Lagos, 16 January 2013: MTV Base has revealed the names of the three
talented newcomers battling it out for fame and fortune in the MTV
Base VJ Search competition.
Going
head-to-head in the last stage of the channel’s search for a new MTV Base VJ,
are 26 year old Ada Ogunkeya (@Folustorms), 25 year old Ehizojia
Okoeguale (@SpecialSlim) and
22 year old Kemi Owatemi (@SsmallzZ).
The
ultimate victor will win a contract with MTV Base worth 10million Naira plus a
brand new car and other exciting prizes.
Lagos born Ada is an on-air personality at 92.3 Inspiration
radio. A self-confessed “life enthusiast”,
Ada’s Twitter page describes her as an “opinionated, impulsive giggle-bot,
knowledge fiend, natural hair lover, dancer, and all round dude”. According to Ada, ‘I feel like I’ve been
preparing for this moment my whole life – it feels right!”
Smart and witty Kemi (Dahlia to her friends) loves dancehall music and Rihanna
in equal measure. The personal motto of this young novel-loving
Capricorn is “Happiness is Key”, and she describes her personal style as “more
denim than silk”.
Happy-go-lucky jobseeker and computer electronics graduate
Ehiz,
a.k.a “Special Slim”, is always the life and soul of the party. With a personal mantra that states “Be
the best you can be because at the end of the day you can only answer for
yourself”, old-skool funk fan Ehiz numbers Fela Kuti, Born Jamericans and LL
Cool J among his favourite artists - and loves the colour red because it represents
both love and danger!
Ada, Ehiz and Kemi were hand-picked by judges Banky W (@BankyW), Toolz (@ToolzO), Funke Akindele (@funkeakindele) and Tim
Horwood (@timohorwood) after
competing against thousands of applicants in the MTV Base VJ Search - Nigeria
auditions in December. The winner will join
Sizwe Dhlomo and Nomuzi Mabena on MTV Base’s in-house talent roster, presenting
their own chart show on MTV Base (DStv Channel 322, STV & AIT).
The winner in the MTV Base VJ Search – Nigeria
competition will be selected by the judges during the Grand Final in Lagos, on
25 January and revealed on MTV Base on Tuesday 29 January. MTV Base VJ Cynthia
C-Von Okpala and MTV’s newest South Africa VJ, Nomuzi
Mabena,
will
share emcee-ing duties at the gig, while celebrity artists Iyanya, Ice Prince and
Burna Boy will be helping the 3 finalists to complete their final
challenges.
You’ll be able to see Ada,
Ehiz and Kemi showing off
their stuff in the next two episodes of the MTV
Base VJ Search – Nigeria, on MTV Base,
DStv Channel 322 at 18:30 WAT on 22 & 29 January and on STV at 18:00 WAT on
