As well as the live auditions, entrants can also upload their audition online, for the chance to be seen by the judges.

About the project, Andy Roberts says: ”It’s always important for us to grow our own talent and to offer new opportunities to our listeners – The Kiss Chosen One is a great chance for someone to get a head start in our industry on one of the most listened and watched media brands in the UK.”

About The Author

Being born to a father who used to own an independent reggae label and a mother who sang meant a love for melodies, chords, vocals and beats was naturally infused in Tahirah Edwards Byfield. Unfortunately that love for music wasn’t accompanied by any type of musical ability! So the young creative married her love of tuneage with her other favourite form of expression, literature. Combined with the other thing she’s pretty good at – talking too much – Tahirah enjoys waxing lyrical about music and street culture on paper and on radio.
