On the morning of Saturday, May 22, 2021, Israel Mbonyi issued a statement regarding people with talent to sing and worship, by creating a platform where he allows them to illuminate their gifts. Everyone will take a maximum of 2 minutes of the song of their choice and send it to WhatsApp number; 0788880842.

In a text message via his Instagram wall, Israel Mbonyi said,

“I have a small announcement! People who have a talent for singing or feel they have a calling to sing, This year we're preparing a new album called CROOS & SONGS, I want to sing and feature with those people, so if you feel like singing with me on this new album, I want you to do a little bit, take a video of yourself singing in less than two minutes, sing any song you want, and then send it at 0788880842. When your video reaches us, we will take it and watch it, and hear it, if we are happy you will hear us call and invite you to feature in my new album."

He said that anyone who wants it or knows someone who knows how to sing should let him/her know about this opportunity.

“As we never know, You would find this is the right time for God to enlighten his/her gift. I want to do this to work with a lot of different people who have singing talents but they don't have the platforms to showcase their talents and gifts. We are doing this to expand the kingdom of God in general, We have many so talented people but have no connection without acquaintances, without even knowing what it looks like in the studio because they never had the opportunity. "

When asked about the time this new album will be out, he said no later than this year of 2021. This is the reason why this talent search started immediately after the announcement and ending no later than on Wednesday, May 26.

Good luck to the contestants!
