Get ready, Belize! KTV the Remix is back for Season 7, and the search for the country’s next vocal sensation kicks off this weekend. If you’ve got the voice, the vibe, and the versatility, mark your calendar: auditions take place June 21 and 22 at the GBM (Open Your Eyes) studios on Coney Drive in Belize City, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Aspiring contestants can expect a high-energy, competitive environment where standout talent will need to impress judges with stage presence, vocal power, originality, and that “it” factor. As always, there’s room for rising stars both young and seasoned, 17-year-olds can audition with a guardian’s signed consent, while 18 and over can dive in freely. But heads-up: if you were a top 3 finalist in 2024, you’ll need to sit this one out.
What should hopefuls bring? Just their A-game. The panel wants jaw-dropping performances.. And by the end of the audition weekend, only 12 contestants will make the cut and those contestants will be announced on July 1.
This season comes with exciting upgrades. The popular guest judge segment is back, but now each guest gets a “green card” vote to help push their favorite contestant forward. Plus, new set designs and Behind-the-Scenes social media coverage will keep fans glued to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
The creative forces behind the show include producer Viannie Reyes, assistant producer Monilee Aspinall, judges Andazi Panton and Tremett Perriott, and returning host William Neal. And they’re not here for slow ballads, they’re calling on contestants to take risks with fun, energetic performances that will bring the Bliss Center crowd (and viewers at home) to their feet.
KTV auditions premiere July 1 at 8:00 p.m., with the first full live show set for July 8, streaming on cable, Facebook, and YouTube.
And for first-timers? Producer Viannie Reyes has this advice: “Choose the right song, know your lyrics, practice like it’s the real thing, and let your personality shine through. We want to see you.”
