HUB Music Series is a music talent search project that runs annual competitions that engage young aspiring artists’ creative ability and promotes music as a product for business and a source of livelihood. Young aspiring artists take on the greatest challenge of the competition: to write, record and perform songs to avoid elimination until they reach the grand finale, where the winner takes the P10 000.00 cash prize. As per HUB Music Series contract with participants, the winner is required to invest the prize money in kickstarting his/her music business as recording and performing artists using the skills and experience attained from taking part in the HUB Music Series project. The competition normally runs for eight weeks every year.
The first edition of HUB Music Series was held in April 2011, and Tshepang ‘Willz’ Motswagae was crowned the HUB Music Series 2011 Champion, taking home the P10, 000 grand prize to kick-start his music career.
