With a big bang Monica, Iyanya, and Chuddy K kicked off MTN Project Fame Season 5 in grand style. After auditions in ten major cities in West Africa, the eighteen finalists sang their hearts out to convince the judges to give them a ticket into the highly coveted fifteen spaces in the Project Fame academy.

The hosts of the show - beautifully adorned Adora Oleh and Joseph Benjamin the dapper stepped out elegantly on the world class stage to kick off the night. The faculty and judges in their usual exquisite element were introduced with glamour. Worthy of note is the introduction of Ade Bantu, as a new member of the panel of judges, whom has begun to ingrain his wealth of experience and expertise into the music climate of Project Fame.
