With Tusker Project Fame season six here, it’s necessary to take a look back at the previous five seasons and look at the some of the housemates that graced our silver screens.
The audience gets to see the journey of representatives from East Africa countries straight from their auditions to their stay in a house where they get trained and coached to perform before judges.
A journey that sees the eviction of one by one of the stars until only one of them is crowned winner and walks away with huge price of Kshs 5 million and a recording deal.
A brief review of the previous winners
Tusker project fame has seen a total 5 winners. Straight from the very first TPF when Valerie Kimani emerged as the winner, released a few songs, joined a band and later started acting before she disappeared from the scene. Next came Esther Nabaasa the Ugandan girl who had the voice of an angel then Alpha Rwirangira from Rwanda who did a few tracks like ‘no money’ and ‘songa mbele’ and Davis Ntare who’s song ‘sheka sheka’ did quite well. Last years TPF was won by Ruth Matete who hasn’t produced anything yet.
People’s view
There has been a lot of Critics on what Tusker Project Fame (TPF) has done and where it may have fallen short. The latter takes center stage though, because you know, we humans find it easier to troll than applaud.
According to an interview of the show’s most famous judge and mentor Mbugua Ian, he shed light on the previous contestants and the gaps the sponsors ought to cover this season.
“This time we want the contestants to take home more than just winning,” he said.
However, he confessed that the previous contestants reflect redundancy in the music industry. In his view, this is due to poor management skills and finances.
“They lack support in sponsorship and honest record labels which is going to change this time round,” he promised.
In the past, the show has faced a lot of critics from former contestants accusing the sponsors of simply using them and never sponsoring their careers. Previous winners have expressed disappointment with Tusker Project Fame not helping their careers after the show. Last year, season three winner Rwirangira also blasted the show sponsors for not fulfilling their pledges.
Tusker Project Fame producers, however, have promised better this time round and according to Dan Angima — senior marketing manager at EABL, the competition’s main focus is on the number one, that’s what competitions are. He shares that competitors should use the platform and fame they get from participating in the TPF to step up in entertain ment industry and, as it would be much easier now. He promised that they will work on the complaints raised up by former contestants, arguing the current contestants not to seat back with the money waiting for the sponsors to appear in each matter regarding their carrier up lift.
He gave the examples of Wendy Kimani, Ameelina and Nga’nga’lito, who are now household names though they never won the competition.
