Introducing Indie Star Search
This stretch of the night belongs to the room. Four finalists perform live, and everyone here helps judge them. Your vote on the sets sits level with the judges, half and half.

You get the performances
Four finalists play in front of you. Energy, connection, the whole set, close enough to feel who deserves the room.
- 02
You help judge them
Everyone with a pass votes on the live sets. That vote is half the result. A panel of judges holds the other half.

The crown includes you
One artist leaves as the Indie Star. If you were in the room, you helped put it on them.

The room, last time
Proof the night shows up
Indie Star Search 3rd Anniversary
Three years in, and the next chapter is about to hit the stage. But first, let us walk you back to the night it all began.
December 2024, the very first finale. Green Indie and Hennessy sold out BallR Lagos with red at the door, fire on the stage and a room that came ready for it.
Young Incredible Takes The Crown
Weeks of streams, likes and judging came down to one night. Young Incredible stepped up with "Lagos to Abuja", a powerful flow and hard-hitting lyrics, then walked off as the very first Indie Star under a storm of confetti. At Artistry, four new finalists get their shot.
Durella Lights It Up
Every finale needs a moment the crowd talks about for weeks. Nigerian star Durella delivered it: mic up, lights blazing and a giant gorilla on hype-man duty.
