“I really appreciated the fact the judges gave honest feedback, said Phillip Michael.
I have
 been to many open mics to perform, but this particular one was different,
I left with a wealth of knowledge and the opportunity to network with real people
in the industry.”

I love the concept, Jai and Nextwun Entertainment have definitely created a great

movement”, says DJ Kash. After the artists performed, we conducted a Q&A session
where each judge introduced themselves and gave artist an opportunity to ask questions.
At the end of the night, the judges chose contestants Young Miz from Cleveland, 
Ohio as their first choice, and Phillip Michael as their second choice. Dave Tolliver
says, “Young Miz gave us energy and he represented my home town, Cleveland, Ohio.
” Celebrity Choregrapher, Zach Lee “As a choregrapher, I look for appearance
and stage presence, and out of all the performers here tonight, I was most impressed
with Young Miz. His swag was on point!”

Although the judges made their choices, every one walked out as a winner with knowledge,

confidence, and constructive feedback for improvement! Even the artists that didnâ
€™t make
 the submission deadline but still came out had a chance to make some great
connections and learn more about the business. In additon , each contestant walked
away with giveaways from our Prize Sponsors. The next show will take place on June
