NexDim caught up with Ngafor HANS , who was a member of the jury;

” It’s a beautiful concept which is first of its kind. If you look around the world, 3/4 of  today’s top celebrities and legends have had a gospel background. The call  is therefore for Africa to rise up . This is a great opportunity for the youths to express their vocal ability. We shall select the best with no iota of bias. If this kind of ideas are regularly initiated, gospel music will definitely gain it’s place. Our ultimate motive is to get a vibrant band with beautiful voices who shall find pleasure in making music  for God”

Ngafor Hans (Bassist and music producer)
