Following hot on the heels of the success of his inaugural season of Maak My Famous, Emo Adams is already busy looking for fresh new talent.

Entries for Season 2 of the reality show will open on 1 October.

Over 6000 people entered the competition in the first season, which was won by Worcester’s Cheswin Ruiters, 23, with Bernice West as the runner-up.

Cheswin’s prizes included a brand-new Toyota CHR car.

“It was overwhelming to hear there will be a second season,” says Emo, who also presents the show.

“This means people connected with the first season and that they saw the heart of the show, so we are on the right path.”

Emo says the show is open to anyone who believes they have a unique talent.

“We want more of everything: more singers, dancers, actors, comedians, ventriloquists.

“And yes, we are looking for people from the cities, but we also want to find talent from small towns - the buried treasures,” says Emo.

The top 10 finalists of last season performed on 14 September at a sold-out concert in the Grand Arena, GrandWest.

“ Maak My Famous is a platform for all, and we want to give everybody a shot at five minutes of fame and maybe much, much more,” says Emo.

Cheswin has advice for hopefuls: “Make sure you give your best in the audition clip and remember this is the one shot to change your life.”
