Ghana has over the years witnessed the proliferation of music reality shows with the sole aim of identifying and nurturing young talents to become seasoned musicians.
But MTN, as part of its social responsibility, has taken the opportunity to hunt young and talented musicians who have composed their own songs to support and transform them into international stars.
MTN Hitmaker has produced music talents such as KiDi (Season 4 winner), Kurl Songx (Season 5 winner), Freda Rhymes (Season 6 winner), OV (Season 7 winner) and Lasmid (Season 8).
