Knox Entertainment director Inoke Kalounisiga said his company was proud to offer the finalists a platform to showcase their original music.
“For us, it’s all about developing the next generation of artists, so we are very grateful for the opportunity to do that, and I would urge all the songwriters out there to put pen to paper, record their song and send their entry in,” he said.
