Majors & Minors

"Majors & Minors" is a compelling and dynamic reality television show that was aired in 2011 on The Hub Network. The show delves deep into the fervently passionate world of music and creativity, talently choreographed under the skilled guidance of Evan Kidd Bogart, a Grammy-nominated American songwriter, music publisher, record executive, and television producer known by his stage name E. Kidd Bogart.

"Majors & Minors" is an engaging series that extends beyond the conventional realm of music reality television by offering its contestants not just a race for the top position, but also an enriching journey of self-discovery and growth as artists. Encompassing a unique format, the show doesn't focus on eliminating the participants but instead harbors on nurturing each of them into a potential star.

The show features 12 phenomenally talented young musicians, aged between 10 to 16, who are brought together under one roof from different parts of the country. These minors, each with a burning dream to make it big in the industry, are trained and mentored by some of the most successful and reputed names in the music business, referred to as the "Majors" in the series.

As the show unfolds, the participants do not compete against each other for survival in the competition. Rather they are given the unique opportunity to hone their skills, learn the intricacies of the music industry, and develop their unique styles as individual artists. They receive in-depth training in every aspect of music ranging from vocals, choreography, songwriting, to handling the media and building their individual personas.

Creating a rich sonic ambience, the syllabus of the show is structured in a series of music genres, with each week revolving around a different style. During each episode, the "Majors" enter the scene as mentors, offering guidance, sharing anecdotes, and giving expert advice drawn from their personal experiences in the industry.

E. Kidd Bogart, with his vast knowledge of the music industry, takes the helm of guiding these young musicians. Known for creating hits with world-renowned artists, including Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez, Bogart leverages his unique experiences and astute knowledge to help these youngsters excel as artists.

"Majors & Minors" is a melting pot of diverse music talents where every episode is power-packed with master classes, rehearsals, interviews, and performances, which are all ably managed and paced by Bogart. Importantly, the show brings in its share of surprises through surprise visits from music superstars who themselves perform, provide insight, guide, and even collaborate with these young talents.

The show reaches its climax with all the minors getting an opportunity to perform what they have learned and experienced throughout the series. Based on their development, growth, and performances over the episodes, one of these minors is crowned the winner at the season finale. Essentially each contest is an exciting blend of musical prowess, passion, and perseverance as the minors battle it out to secure a music recording contract with RCA/Jive and earn a chance to feature in a cross-country concert tour.

"Majors & Minors" beautifully reverberates Bogart's own motto, "We all start the same. It's where we end up that counts." The series successfully presents itself as a holistic platform that doesn’t just aim to find the next singing superstar but aids in chiseling out well-rounded artists. With its hallmark of creating a constructive learning environment rather than courtroom trials, the show stands as a towering testimony to Bogart's vision and objective to inspire and motivate young talents.

A captivating series for individuals fascinated with music, creativity, and talent, "Majors & Minors" gives viewers an insightful view of the journey from raw talent to stardom. This engaging watch is a must for dreamers, music enthusiasts, and those who believe in the transformative power of music.
