The top ten contestants in the ongoing Tusker Project Fame 5 competition may see their music careers rise much faster than they expected after Universal Music group revealed that the ten will definitely record an album before the end of the show.

The announcement was made by Gerrard Forster, the Head of New Business Development for Sub-Saharan Africa for UMG International, on Saturday night during the eviction show. The manager is also the fourth judge in the fifth season of Tusker project fame 5.

The record is expected to cover a 10 track album which is scheduled to be released by the time the season ends on the 29th of July 2012.
Judge Ian Mbugua however advised the contestants that while this opportunity provided the contestants with the unique chance to see their music recorded by a top music label, it was up to them to work on the quality of their delivery as they would represent their countries.

TPF Judge Ian’s sentiments were echoed by Judge Julianna Kanyomozi who implored the lucky contestants to make the best of the opportunity.
