Natasha Beckley, a female rapper in Freetown has said that she will host a musical concert on December 8, 2024 to promote up-and-coming independent artists.
The concert is titled, ‘Freetown’s Finest’, and it is themed, ‘Show me what you got concert’
Beckley said that as society had supported her directly and indirectly through her journey as an entertainer, it is her turn to give back to them.
According to her, the lucky winner will have a lot of opportunities, including production of an Extended Play (EP), touring with her nationally and internationally, among others. She is calling on interested and promising independent artists to make use of the opportunity.
She added that in July 2024, every contestant should have submitted their photos and mp3 songs and registration fee of NLe 500 to +23276411112.
She added that on August 8th, 2024 votes will be cast through which fans and supporters would vote for their artists on Facebook. “September 8, 2024 is my birthday. On this day, the best 25 contestants will be announced. On this same day, flyers of the top 25 contestants will be released, and tickets for the show will be out in which each artist will be given 30,” she said. She went on to say that on October 8th, 2024 there would be a promotion day for the artists where they would be featured on radio and television stations. “November 8, 2024, will be a show promo radio and TV tour, and December 7, 2024 will be seminar and stage rehearsal days. December 8, 2024 is the concert, the big day. Photography will get you great photos to promote yourself and highlight videos of your performances to sell yourself. I will take the lucky artist to Gambia for my concert (please make sure you have a passport. All other expenses on me.) I will shoot one video for you, I will release an EP for you; I will take you on my national tour in Sierra Leone, and I will sign an MOU rebrand and work with you for 36 months. This is the best that I can do to support. Good luck to all artists wanting this opportunity,” she explained.
