Check out how the Kenya Olympic Anthem auditions kicked off

The auditions for the Coca Cola Kenya Olympic Anthem that were held at the KICC on the 3Rd of June saw many hyped up youth show up for a chance to get featured in a collaboration with Kenya’s hit maker, Madtraxx.

The auditions took place concurrently in Mombasa, Kisumu and Nairobi. Mombasa had DJ Delf and producer Susumila as the judges at Darajani Hotel, Kisumu received DJ Edog and Thomas Milongo of Chagua Records at Sunset Hotel while Nairobi had the legendary DJ Pinye and Madtraxx at the KICC.

“There are some people who are doing a really great job during the auditions but will not qualify,” said DJ Pinye. “This is not because they’re not talented, they are just not the right fit for the project and what we are looking for.”

Madtraxx and DJ Pinye will later choose four from the selected few from each city, after which the two winners will be voted for by the public.

“So far it been very interesting, there are definitely a lot of young people out there with talent and it’s exciting to see. If we can find one person who is a really good vocalist, and one person who can do a good rap, that would give us everything that we need to make this a great Olympic Anthem,” said Madtraxx who was quite impressed with the outcome.

“I just want to thank Coca-Cola for making all this possible,” said DJ Pinye. “I just want to thank Coca-Cola for making all this possible,” said DJ Pinye. “I had always wanted to do something like this, but never got the chance till now.”

In partnership with the world’s largest beverage company, Coca-Cola, which serves their consumers worldwide at a rate of 1.7 billion servings a day, this project promises to be one of the biggest and most successful music project that Kenya has ever seen.
