Here are the Hit-Maker finalists

They met for the first time at a photo shoot last Monday and though the expected civilities prevailed, no one need to be told that the 12 acts in this year’s MTN Hit-Maker final had already started plotting how to outdo each other to clinch the ultimate at stake.
The finalists are Abigail Antwi, Albert Buabeng, Stephen ‘Kofi Korea’  Kim, Olevya Aba, Fiifi Sey Armah, Prizinerz (Duo), Jamilatu Mohammed, Miguel Oduro Daniels, Nana Adobea, Hussein Musah, Koo Ntakara and Gilbert Bossu.
They will be officially outdoored tonight at a ceremony at the Oak Plaza Hotel on the Spintex Road in Accra but some of them are already bursting with anxiety to get into action.
The Priznerz  from Cape Coast, for instance,  believe they have what it takes to win the contest.  Made up of George Kwasi Sarpong and Christopher Boakye Yiadom, they claim they have the most visual style which would make people want to see them  again and again.

“We have some wicked stuff that comment on socio-political and economic situations but which are extremely entertaining and motivational at the same time. We cannot wait  to get started,” the Priznerz said in a chat.
One of the competition’s judges, Bessa Simons said there was nothing wrong with any of the contestants expressing optimism about their chances in the coming weeks.
To him, it is fair for those selected to fill their heads with thoughts of doing well which could propel them to excel.
“It is a tough but enjoyable road ahead. Whoever thinks he or she is coming out on top should be ready to work extremely hard. We want them to be as original as possible. None of them should try to sound like any other act they know.
“The judges, MTN, producer-engineers and everyone else connected with the show are ready to give all the necessary support so it would be up to the contestants to prove themselves. All we want is the best  act to win and bring something fresh to the scene,” Bessa  said.
Another judge, Zapp Mallet pointed out that the contestants must not relent on their efforts at all and that they must approach the show like fighting in a battle for their lives.
“They must put in everything they have because each one has the  potential to win. Only one act can, however, win the top prize so those who do not win must not take it as the end of the world. After all, they would have had a lot of exposure and knowledge to help them move forward with their careers.”
Farmhouse, the company producing the show also says everything is set for an exciting show.

“Now that we know the final set, it is going to be business all the way,” said Ivan Quashigah  of Farmhouse.
Television viewers were highly thrilled by the maiden edition last year.  The indications are that they are  in for another interesting season of the MTN Hit-Maker.
