Five contestants have secured their spot in the grand finale of the Cribs International Talent Search following a thrilling semi-final event at the Bintumani Conference Centre in Freetown.
Out of ten performers who competed on Sunday evening, five were chosen by the judges following their voting to move on to the final stage of what is now Sierra Leone’s biggest talent shows.
The five finalists are:
-
Melrose Fatima Swarray (#62)
-
Anita Macmillan Sesay (#139)
-
Francis Reffel (#135)
-
Frankstella Freeman (#150)
-
Chocolate and Makissa (#224)
- The semi-final was packed with music, energy, and emotions as the contestants gave it their all in front of a live audience and a panel of experienced judges including Nigeria’s legendary producer MasterKraft, singer Ozeal, and representatives from Cribs International.
Although only five made it to the finale, the show also opened new doors for others. Three contestants who didn’t make the cut – Amarachuku Linus securing record deals with Cribs International. BBL 1 secured and Mamoud secured EP deal.
The Cribs Talent Search has attracted hundreds of entries from across the country. After several weeks of auditions and performances, only a few are left standing with a shot at the top prize – a Le300,000 cash reward, a record deal, full album production, and long-term career support.
The final promises to be a defining moment for Sierra Leone’s entertainment industry as the country gets ready to celebrate its next big stars.
Cribs International says the finale will be held soon, with more updates expected in the coming days.
