The Big Stage Returns For a 3rd Installment!



Black/Smith Consulting is proud to announce the third installment of the Big Stage Talent Challenge! If you think you've got what it takes to become the next superstar singer or rapper, here is your chance to show and prove. Let us put our money where your talent is!

In a concentrated effort to mobilize and challenge Detroit's talented dreamers to raise the bar as it relates to their performance presentation while reaching for the stars, Black/Smith Consulting has made it their mission to reignite the community's interest in rallying to champion our hometown talent by rekindling the passion for what Motown has always celebrated: Real music.

"This is not a talent show," said Brandon Smith, co-founder of Black/Smith Consulting, "it's an opportunity for Michigan's true talents to show up, show out, and add another trophy to their press kit or resume, not to mention $500."

On June 9, 2012, fifteen contestants will sing, rap or perform their hearts out before an audience of their peers, and industry judges, at the Boll Family YMCA in downtown Detroit for a chance to win $500 in cash!

This is a no holds barred competition. Contestants will be judged on their stage presence, vocal ability, costume and crowd participation by a panel of industry judges who will select three contestants to advance into a final round that will be judged Apollo-style by the audience to determine who will emerge victorious as the winner of the Big Stage Talent Challenge.

The Big Stage Talent Challenge is open to Michigan singers and rappers of all ages. Auditions will be held at Star Factory, located at 13305 Capital in Oak Park, on April 29 at 4 p.m. 

Applicants must be Michigan residents and should be prepared to perform a two minute selection with no profanity or explicit lyrics. The registration fee per group is $20.
