A talent hunt programme titled “Samsung Galaxy GRAND 2 Presents Campus Soundbox” began its journey through searching emerging musicians at the Independent University, Bangladesh last week.
It is an initiative of Creinse Limited, the official programme syndication partner of MTV/Viacom in Bangladesh, that will continue the programme in five more private universities.
The registration process was inaugurated by eminent musicians Shafin Ahmed and Romel Ali. They expressed their satisfaction on such a unique platform that will bring out the emerging young talents from the cultural heart of a campus. Amidst numerous requests from the students, Shafin Ahmed performed his cult classic “Phiriye Dao,” and the surrounding crowd sang along in chorus.
The shortlisted musicians from the initial round of the programme will go through live auditions in front of an esteemed judging panel in August 2014 at the IUB Multipurpose Hall and one will be crowned the Campus Soundbox winner of IUB. Creinse will record and make a music video of the winning soloist or band who will also get an opportunity to perform in the grand Premiere Show at the university and have the chance to feature their videos on MTV Program Platforms.
