A first of its kind, the Talent Show brought together artistes from different parts of Nairobi, who sang their lungs out with the aim of impressing a Bench of Judges tasked to spot the star of the day.

The much anticipated Talent Show attracted 16 participants, who turned up at the Pulse Live Kenya offices, ready to rock the day. The day officially kicked off at 12:00pm.

Gates opened at around 10:00am, allowing participants to secure their preferred spots that could enable them enjoy the performances without any struggles and also take part when called upon.

The Pulse Talent Show saw Kinoti, a fast-rising singer emerge the winner, after being voted overwhelmingly by the four Judges who were out to pick the best out of the Best.

Kinoti went against all odds to prove to the Judges that he was the one they were looking for, despite his guitar string snapping mid-performance. He borrowed another from his fellow participants and went on to completely ‘kill’ the show.

By being crowned the star of the day, Kinoti was handed a number of goodies from Pulse partners; KenAfric, Big Square, Dominos Pizza and Hustle Yako.

On top of that he also secured a recording deal with Krucial Sounds under producer Johnttez, for his upcoming single.

Dancer and Singer Muthoni Irungu, wowed the Judges with her 1001% confidence and ability to own the stage to scoop the second spot. Upcoming singer Roy Troy emerged third during the talent show.

Apart from the top three, RMG, a Hip Hop group from Majengo also stood out with their lyrical delivery and ability to own the stage. The three gentlemen are a full package, as one can play the guitar, the other can sing and the third group member is a very talented rapper and vocalist.
