P. Diddy has launched a global talent
search to find a presenter for his REVOLT TV network.
The ‘Come With Me‘ rapper is looking for
a young person aged between 13 and 25 to join his REVOLT TV network as a
presenter, and has been personally evaluating the 15-second audition tapes
submitted by applicants.
On Tuesday September 10, 2013, he posted
on Twitter: ‘The time is NOW people, get your submissions in #IAmRevolt!!! ‘guess
what?!? tweet your audition videos for @RevoltTV now! make sure you add hashtag
#IamRevolt so I can check it out now!!!!!!
‘the next 10 ppl to submit their videos
will be viewed by me!!!!!!! I’m WAITING PPL!!!!!!!!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!! (sic)’
Diddy’s online TV channel is launching
in October and he’s keen to hire the freshest and most innovative people to
appear on it from anywhere around the world.
He said in a statement launching the
talent search: ‘I need individuals that are fearless and speak the truth. Young
talent. Fresh faces. Attitude. I want to empower the creators of this
generation and show artists this is their channel.’ Anyone wanting to enter the
talent search should upload their video via Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Vimeo,
Facebook or YouTube with an #iamrevolt hastag and another describing their
musical style. The video must end by saying ‘I Am REVOLT’ and be submitted
before September 30.
The launch of Combs' network was
announced back in February with several news outlets, including the New York
Times, reporting that Comcast had acquired distribution rights for Revolt. In
June, however, network representatives reported that they had also finalized a
national carriage deal with Time Warner Cable; which will make Revolt one of
the largest launches in cable TV history when it goes live next month.
The open casting call will close on
September 30, and submissions will be narrowed down through the month of
October. One top participant could be offered the chance of a lifetime to join
REVOLT as an on-air host. Interested parties can visit the Revolt TV YouTube
page for more information on its "We Want You" global casting call.
