Young musicians will have the chance to perform with rnb/soul artist Aaradhna thanks to a new singing competition that will recognise upcoming talent.
Iwi Idol has been launched by the Ngapuhi Festival, which is being held in Whangarei, on January 27, for the first time. Iwi Idol is a platform on which young singers can record and submit a video of themselves to win a chance to perform with Aaradhna at the event.
The New Zealand singer said she was excited and looked forward to performing one of her original songs with the winner.
"This opportunity should create an atmosphere where we recognise our younger generation and the talent they have been blessed with.
"It will also be an amazing experience for them to perform in front of a large-scale audience in front of the community, their family and friends," she said.
