On September 30, 2019, Christopher Barr, a fourth year Fine Art and Design student at Kenyatta University, was crowned the winner of the second edition of Infinix 'Beat Ya Campo' singing competition.
Barr beat 10 other finalists to take home the top prize, which included the latest Infinix smartphone, Sh10,000 in cash, and many other goodies.
The competition, which was held on the university's main campus in Nairobi, was also marked by impressive performances from Bensoul of Sol Generation and Nadia Mukami.
According to Infinix Brand Manager Mr Qiang, the competition aims to identify and support university students with great musical talent, providing them with a platform to express their talents and showcase their skills to the world.
“Most Kenyans are born talented in art, especially singing and dancing, but they lack the suitable platforms to express their amazing talents and show to the world. Infinix, as a bold and stylish brand, has been creating this dream stage and offering opportunities to Kenyan university students, who represent the future,” said Mr Qiang.
The event was sponsored by Infinix Mobility in partnership with local music and entertainment platforms including Boomplay and Vskit. All the finalists will receive professional vocal training through a partnership between Infinix and Boomplay, to further enhance their singing skills and nurture their overall stage image.
