Announcing The Winner Of The Andre Harrell Superstar Soul Search
posted in: OurStage Updates
In June, OurStage partnered with Radio One Inc. and media mogul Andre Harrell to find the next big thing in R&B/Soul music with the Andre Harrell Superstar Soul Search Competition. Artists had the opportunity to enter their music in regional channels as well as one national channel for a shot at auditioning in front of Andre Harrell himself. In July, these auditions were held in cities across the country to narrow it down to the final few. Ten artists were then chosen to compete at the finals, which were held in Atlanta this past weekend. All 10 artists performed in front of Andre Harrell and a panel of celebrity judges including Keith Sweat, Ann Nesby, DJ Eddie F and Dwight Eubanks.
After an “exciting and explosive” final competition, Louisiana native Mr. Ayers wowed the audience and judges alike and was chosen as the winner. Mr. Ayers won a career-making grand prize package including a check for $10,000, free online promotion from Radio One and a digital single deal with Andre Harrell Records/Atlantic Records. Stay tuned to the OurStage blog to read firsthand about his experience at the competition in our upcoming interview with Mr. Ayers!
