1’s & 2’s ‘Master of Spin’ and a grand prize comprising of a complete professional production studio valued at R100 000 and an album deal due for local and international release.

This season sees an even bigger contingent of heavyweight talent that will get Mzansi rocking even harder than they did in season one.”

1's and 2's is almost under way but I must say the talent we have in this country is amazing and there will be some interesting sounds coming out. All in all, the standard of the show and the producers is much higher and as judges we are very proud to have been a part in exposing this talent.”
