After weeks of fierce
competition and steamy performances Enajite Peters has emerged the winner of
the maiden edition of the Airtel TRACE Music Star Competition.
The Sapele, Delta
State-born dude was unanimously announced by a three-man panel judge; Olisa
Adibua, Cobhams Asuquo and Lara George.
Enajite Peters was one
of several contestants of the competition, which was trimmed to five finalists.
He was announced as the
winner in the presence of some celebs and audience including Ice Prince, Phyno,
Vector, Falz, BOJ, and Joe El. This was held at Ocean View, Victoria Island,
Lagos.
By emerging the winner,
Enajite will represent Nigeria at the Pan-African grand finale in Kenya in the
quest to win the grand prize of a record deal with Universal Records and
mentorship with Akon, a top American artiste.
An excited Enajite said,
"When my name was called as the winner, for that moment, I did not know
what to do; it was surreal and happened so fast. I know this is the beginning
of greater things to happen.
"I am thankful to
the judges for every piece of advice and constructive criticism that will sure
make me a better singer, the fans who voted and those that came out to cheer
for me on that day. There is no way to thank them enough. The whole ‘Team Jitey’ are the real winners."
Speaking after the
event, the Managing Director, TRACE Nigeria, Sam Onyemelukwe said, "I
believe Enajite, she has what it takes to be the Pan-African champion. Her
passion and willingness to learn is super.
"There was this
instance during Lara George’s performance that she came out to watch. I was impressed because this
was at a period where she was supposed to be prepping herself for the biggest
moment of her musical career. I wish her all the best of luck in Kenya."
