DVR Alert: The Four Starts Tonight!
• Please note this gentle, non-pushy reminder to secretly set all of the DVRs in your neighborhood to Fox to catch tonight’s big premiere of the network’s brand new artist competition — The Four: Battle for Stardom.
As we previously reported, the show has locked down a killer panel of music industry pros as judges — Sean “Diddy” Combs, DJ Khaled, songwriter/recording artist Meghan Trainor and our pal Charlie Walk, President of Republic Records Group.
When we initially shared the news of the show back in November, Walk, who was instrumental in the signing of Julia Michaels and Hailee Steinfeld, among others, said the key to the show’s mission is the “T-word,” as he said, “What lies at the heart of the music business is ‘talent.’ Discovering and developing talent remains the most important, consistent driver of my home, Republic Records, and now Fox’s The Four. I’m thrilled to be joining this incredible panel of my longtime friends, Sean, Khaled and Meghan, to help make the difference on a platform that’s truly committed to identifying and breaking the next generation of superstars. We will guide them, advise them, and be with them every step of the way on their journey, starting on the most transparent stage in television.” Republic Records will release music from the show’s participants and winner.
