Kandi Burruss Searches For Next Big Pop Star

Kandi Burruss is getting her Simon Cowell on.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star – who turned Kim Zolciak into a pop singer – will coach two young people through a chance at music stardom on a new spin-off special.

On The Kandi Factory, which will air March 4 (10 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Grammy winner Burruss will invite a young man and a young woman to Atlanta, where she’ll work with them on “three factors that have to fit together to create a pop sensation,” according to a press release from Bravo, “the song, the look and the performance.”

Of the two singers, who have no previous experience in the music industry, one of them will get a big opportunity: their song will be released and a music video will be produced by Burruss’s team at The Kandi Factory.

    I admire your talent and the way that you carry yourself. I am asking if you could take a look at an artist that has pure talent but needs some direction. He’s been on Show Time At The Apollo and The Ricky Smiley Show. This would be greatly appreciated. http://thepreferredlife.blogspot.com/2012/11/introducing-jawan-mathis.html

    Kandi, it is sooo ironic that u are doing this show. My daughter Madison is an amazing singer. I am a die hard superfan of RHOA, and told her two seasons ago that i wanted to contact you to.work with her. She is working with another producer right now, but he is not really what we were looking for. If u are interestef in having her try out for you, please contact me via email or fb at shannamedrano@aol.com. Thanks!!!

    Hello, my name is Cameron wall. I am a student, songwriter,
    and singer from Charlotte, NC. I’m emailing you today because I want to learn
    the business side of the music industry. I believe that seeking knowledge, from
    veterans, is instrumental in building a solid foundation. I’m not seeking a
    music deal, but I’m not against it at all, because I’m still devolving. After
    researching your company, I believe that this is a good place to learn from.

    I would describe my writing style as poetic, heartfelt and
    distinct.

    I would describe my musical style as a blend of many
    different genres; from Pop, Gospel, R&B, Latin and Rock to Soul, Jazz,
    Blues, Classical and Country.

    Thank you for your time

    Sincerely,

    Cameron

    Hi Kandi

    I have a 16 year old son who has been introduce to music at a young age and decided to further his career in music. I’ve been managing him since October of last year he’s very talented, he sings, rap and write his own music. It will be a great idea to have a show cast or a show for teenagers. Here’s his link to his music. Facebook/Larepstar. Youtube:Larepstar/UtopianRhymes. We love you.
