METRO FM MUSIC AWARDS FINALISTS ANNOUNCEMENT - 2013
Johannesburg, 16 January 2013- The 2013 METRO FM Music Awards Finalists announcement, was held earlier today at a cocktail event at Summerplace, in Johannesburg.
The nominees, the industry and the media were invited to witness which artists have made it as finalists in this year’s awards. Given the fact that the awards did not take place last November as it is the norm, the Finalists announcement was highly anticipated. Metro FM being a station that celebrates local music, the guests were entertained by South Africa’s sensation and talented DJ Black Coffee, followed by DJ Ganyani and last but not least, the hilarious, ever colourful and energetic Dr Malinga.
The MC’s at the event were our very own smooth Wiliam Lehong, The Black Chinese Guy, of the Pyajama Party Show and the ever so classy Azania Mosaka who presents Total Bliss weekdays on METRO FM. Needless to say they did a sterling job.
The voting lines will open at 24:00 on the 17th of January 2013 for the public to vote for their favourite artists to win the most coveted award, a Metro FM Award this year. Remember to sms category name and favourite artist to 34764. The voting lines will then close at 11:59 on the 17th of February 2013.
