Hunting for finest teen pop band starts

With the slogan ‘Ananda O Moja Thakuk Sobar Majhe’ (Let there be joy and fun in everyone), Fanta, as a part of its ongoing mission to create more fun and play in the world, is set to launch a talent hunt to find the country’s first teen pop band.After an extensive search for talent, the selected teenagers will be short listed, vetted and groomed and eventually launched into musical stardom. The interesting and engaging format, which was never seen before in the reality show, will be aired on GTV.

In its effort to hunt across the country for the finest teen talent, Fanta Teen Pop band is asking participants to do a self-audition. To participate in the audition round one needs to call at 3690 and after hearing a beep s/he needs to tell his/her name, age and address and sings any song of his/her choice. After the song is sung, the participant needs to press hash (#). The participant will need to press 1 to submit the audition and press 2 to re-take the audition.
Top 300 teenagers will be short listed for the next level. In phase two, celebrity judges will pick the 100 most talented teenagers. The judges Elita Karim, Zohad and Fuad will be looking for not just talent, but also the Fun and Play factor that make a teen pop band a rage. After a thorough vetting and in-person audition, 20 lucky and talented teenagers will be short listed to go into the grand finale. These talented and diverse group jury members have been tasked to identify the top 5 that will go on to become the country’s first ‘Fanta Teen Pop Band’.
The select band members will then undergo grooming and training to prepare them for playing and creating songs together. The Fanta Teen Pop Band will come up with two original songs, which will be composed by Fuad. The band will also feature as the lead stars in music videos for the songs, giving them an opportunity to reach every corner of the country.
This Teen talent hunt will conclude at a gala event, attended by some of the top personalities in the music world in Bangladesh, where the band will be introduced live along with their original music videos to the country. Radio Foorti, GTV and The Daily Star will keep updated about this fun journey.
Shadab Khan, Country Manager of Coca-Cola Bangladesh said “Having confidence one can gain a lot of fun and having fun, one can do amazing things. This Fanta Teen Band is to not only enlarge the base of raw talent around the country, but to also ensure no amazing talent is unnoticed.”
