Talent hunt

In an attempt to identify ‘Tamil’ talent from the streets of Chennai, BIG 92.7 FM, has initiated the ‘BIG Singaara Singer’, a talent hunt on radio. Through the contest, the radio station will identify two golden voices of Chennai from aspiring singers and will give them an opportunity to sing in a forthcoming Kollywood movie. The contest consists of on-air and on-ground auditions to ensure the best are selected. It will culminate on May 17, with the announcement of two winners.

BIG 92.7 FM has categorised Chennai into North, South, West and Central, and auditions will be held separately in each of the four locations. Ten participants will be selected from each location to participate in the quarter-finals. Out of 40 participants, 10 will advance to the semi-finals and out of which one male and one female will be crowned the “BIG Singaara Singer”.

The contest will be judged by famous Kollywood playback singers such as Tippu, Harini, Ranjith and Vijay Yesudas. The winners will get a chance to sing for famous music director Vijay Anthony in his forthcoming movie.

BIG 92.7 FM will also provide a platform to the participants to exhibit their talent by taking them to various events. Registration for participation is open.
