The AniMatters Musical Competition, now in its second edition, promises to be an extraordinary event that celebrates young musical talent in honour of the late Anita Nobi. Organised by AniMatters CEO Taurus Nobi, the competition is a tribute to his sister Anita, a beloved nurse and passionate musician whose love for music touched everyone around her with a melodious voice. Anita’s dream was to bring joy to others through music, and this competition is her family’s way of continuing her legacy, offering a platform for emerging artists to shine with their voices.
The AniMatters Musical Competition is designed to uncover and celebrate rising talent while providing invaluable exposure to aspiring musicians. “Anita believed music could heal and inspire, much like her work in nursing,” says Taurus Nobi. “We aim to create a space that showcases these artists and connects them with the wider music industry. This competition is about more than just winning—nurturing passion and fostering community.”
The auditions are set for November 7th and 8th, 2024, drawing participants from various backgrounds eager to take their music to the next level. The excitement surrounding the auditions is palpable as contestants look forward to performing for a panel of judges, including industry experts, mentors, and past participants. Auditions are a crucial part of the competition as they highlight a diversity of musical styles, genres, and approaches, which was a central aspect of Anita’s vision.
For those fortunate to progress past auditions, the journey culminates in the Grand Finale on December 17th, 2024, hosted at The Dreams Lounge. This highly anticipated event will feature live performances from finalists, each bringing their unique sound and energy to the stage. With its intimate setting and excellent acoustics, the Dreams Lounge provides the ideal backdrop for artists to share their talents with a live audience, including fellow musicians, community members, and esteemed guests.
One key goal of the AniMatters Musical Competition is to connect new talent with industry professionals. Finalists can network with producers, musicians, and other influential figures who could help them advance their careers. This is a tribute to Anita’s love for music and an opportunity to support artists with the potential to leave their mark on the world of music.
In addition to the competition, the AniMatters Musical Competition is a community-centred event, welcoming locals to come together, support emerging talent, and celebrate a cause close to Taurus Nobi’s heart. The event promises to be an unforgettable night of live music, connection, and shared passion, all in honour of a young woman who believed sincerely in the power of music to heal and inspire.
“We would be honoured to have you join us in this celebration of talent, passion, and memory,” says Nobi. “The AniMatters Musical Competition is about building a legacy for Anita and all those who dream of sharing their voice with the world.”
The Grand finale is on December 17th, 2024—at 3 PM, at The Dreamz Lounge & Bar Ubeji, Warri, Delta State. We’re hoping to see you come and enjoy good music! We hope to witness a memorable evening of musical talent and celebrate the life of Anita Nobi, whose passion continues to inspire.
