How Jeff won 2015 MTN Project Fame

Budding singer, Jeffrey Ufedo Akor weekend emerged
winner of the MTN Project Fame West Africa Season 8,
smiling home with star prize of N5million, a brand new,
fully loaded SUV and a recording contract worth millions
of Naira. It has been a completely exciting season with
weeks of hard-work and dedication.
It started with auditions in several cities in West Africa,
and translated into eight weeks of fun, tension and
scintillating performances for the 16 contestants that
made it into the Academy.
For the six finalists that made it to the finals (Ada,
Arewa, Anderson, Deinde, Jeff, and Pearl), things will
never be the same again as they have indeed gone
through a beneficial and life-altering eight weeks in the
Academy.
Grand Finale nights like this have birthed the likes of
Iyanya, Mike, Chidinma, Monica, Ayoola, Olawale and
Geoffrey. And with only one of these six to join the
league of extraordinary superstars, the question on
everyone’s mind was, who will it be?
But before it got to that, the show kicked off on a
promising note as the six finalists stepped onto the
stage in their monochrome outfits and delivered a
melodious, yet emotional group song titled ‘Pray For
Me’ by Dare Art Alade.
The rest of the night turned out to be an exciting
journey with great entertainment lined up in form of
collabos. Yes, the six finalists had been paired up with
some A-list artistes to produce amazing remixed
versions of their songs, and so each team stepped on
stage and brought nothing but pure joy as they sang,
danced and glowed.
First to perform were Jeff and energetic Yemi Alade
doing ‘K.I.S.S.I.N.G’ remix. Followed by Pearl and
Chidinma who gracefully performed ‘Kedike’ remix.
Deinde and Iyanya got everyone dancing with ‘Mr
Oreo’ remix.  Anderson and Praiz with their vocal
