Since its original launch in 2010, The Voice has won audiences in countries like the US, Australia, South Africa and the UK, where other renowned artistes have occupied the show’s famous red chairs as coaches. The Voice Nigeria employs the same format including a panel of four coaches who critique the contestants’ performances.

The coaches guide their teams of selected artistes through the remainder of the season whilst also competing to ensure that their act wins the competition.

Auditions kicked off on January 8, 2016, while the show is scheduled to kick off in April 2016.
