960 Music has partnered with Ultima Productions to launch a contestant/artist collaboration segment to MTN Project Fame Season 8.

Monica Ogah, the winner of Project Fame Season 4 will be coming on as a songwriter.

This, along with the announcement of the winner, will be aired on Sunday, 27 September, 2015.

Mark Redguard, CEO of 960 Music said, "The idea behind this collaboration is to give the contestants a feel of the real world, before they exit the Academy and to form a mentor-mentee relationship between the contestants and the established artists". 

This is similar to Geoffrey's partnership with 960 Music, which helped him launch his professional career after winning Project Fame last year.
