What began as an open call for emerging musical talent in Delta State has evolved into a competition that is now entering one of its most decisive stages. SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has moved from its initial launch, through the release of its official competition beat and the submission of entries, to the current voting phase, bringing participating artists closer to opportunities for recognition, exposure and career development.
Organised through a collaboration between SOUNDOUTTV and COBYL CITY LTD, the second edition was created to provide emerging artists with a platform to put their creativity and performance ability before a wider audience. With a prize package valued at over ₦900,000, the competition was positioned from the outset as more than a search for a winning performance; it was an opportunity for participating artists to gain exposure and access to professional development opportunities.
The journey took its first major creative turn on 1 August 2026 with the release of the official SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 competition beat. Produced by Berry IV for COBYL CITY LTD, the beat became the common musical foundation for contestants, giving each participating artist the same starting point while leaving room for individual interpretation, delivery and creativity.
With the beat released, the competition moved from anticipation to participation. Artists were required to build their entries around the official instrumental, recording either a freestyle or an original song and presenting their performances according to the competition’s submission guidelines.
Entries were shared on social media while tagging SOUNDOUTTV and were also submitted through the designated official channel, giving contestants their first opportunity to place their work before the competition’s audience.
The initial submission deadline was set for 14 August 2026, but the submission window was subsequently extended to 18 August, allowing the competition to accommodate the continued flow of entries before moving into its next phase.
With the extended submission period concluded, SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has now progressed into its current voting stage, shifting the focus from entry submissions to audience participation.
Voting is being conducted through the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform. Each individual voter may cast a maximum of 33 votes for a single contestant, while contestants may receive an unlimited total number of votes provided they come from different supporters and comply with the competition rule.
The current stage gives the audience an active role in the competition. Beyond watching the performances, supporters now have the opportunity to stand behind their preferred contestants and contribute to the momentum of their journey as the competition progresses. For the contestants, it is another opportunity to turn the work they have already put forward into meaningful audience engagement.
The entries are in, the performances have been heard, and the competition has reached the stage where the audience gets to have its say.
Whose performance caught your attention? Which contestant left an impression? Now is the time to stand behind the artist you believe deserves your support. Visit the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform, cast your votes and make your voice count. The talent has taken the stage; now, let the fans decide.
