From scouring the country and the world for extraordinary talents on television, ABS-CBN’s grand audition program “Star Hunt,” together with The Filipino Channel, continues its legacy by launching the first global singing search on Kumu, the fastest growing social media app in the Philippines.
Called Star Hunt: The Global Showdown, the search is host by multimedia stars Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber and premiered on Wednesday at 7 PM (Manila time). There will also be live shows for the rest of the week, with former “Pinoy Big Brother Otso” housemate Kiara Takahashi providing updates and online guestings of the contestants.
Kicking off the global singing search is its introduction of the top 25 Global Star Dreamers from the Philippines, USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Australia, and Italy who joined the month-long call for entries from September to October this year.
They’re selected by Star Hunters or the panel of judges composed of Pinoy Big Brother and Star Hunt creative manager Marcus Vinuya, ABS-CBN Global head of music and talent Roslynn Cobarrubias, and award-winning composer and ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo.
They will give two weeks to rally for votes, and it will announce the first ten Stars, Dreamers, to be eliminated live on the Star Hunt channel on Kumu on November 20.
Big prizes and opportunities await the winner as he or she will win a management contract with “Star Hunt,” a recording contract with ABS-CBN Music, and $10,000.
Follow the journeys of the Star Dreamers in “Star Hunt: The Global Showdown,” where the biggest dreams begin with the smallest screens on the Kumu app. It streams live daily on the Star Hunt channel on the app. For updates, like facebook.com/starhuntabscbn and follow @starhuntabscbn on Twitter and Instagram.
