The competition also recognised two other promising campus performers, with the three winners sharing a total of ₦1 million in prize money.

The competition formed part of the Soundcity OnTour activities held at the University of Ilorin between October 26 and 28, bringing together students for music, entertainment and live performances.

The event provided aspiring musicians with an opportunity to showcase their creativity, connect with fellow students and gain recognition for their musical abilities.

Powered by Bigi and Fearless Energy Drink, Soundcity OnTour is visiting universities across Nigeria to promote youth engagement, campus entertainment and emerging musical talents.

Through the Bigi Music Competition, the brand is creating opportunities for young performers to demonstrate their abilities while connecting with audiences through music and entertainment.

Speaking on the initiative, Biola Aransiola, Brand Manager of BIGI, said the tour was designed to connect with young Nigerians through activities they enjoy while providing opportunities for upcoming talents.

“Soundcity OnTour allows us to connect with young Nigerians through something they genuinely love. Beyond the excitement, we want to create moments that bring students together and give emerging talents a chance to showcase what they can do,” Aransiola said.

Soundcity OnTour Heads to KWASU

Following its successful outing at the University of Ilorin, Soundcity OnTour is moving to Kwara State University (KWASU), where activities are scheduled to run from October 29 to 31.

The next stop will provide another opportunity for students to participate in the entertainment experience and give aspiring musicians a platform to showcase their talents.

With Savahdor, Bamz and Rhieyha emerging as winners in Ilorin, attention has now shifted to KWASU as the search for more promising campus music talents continues.

The initiative highlights the growing interest in campus entertainment and the importance of creating platforms where young Nigerian creatives can gain exposure and recognition.
