Banky W announced as MTV VJ Search judge, to release new singles

The hunt for MTV Base's new VJ is heating up, and with just over two weeks to go until the auditions, R&B boss Banky W has been announced as a judge!

Although he won't be the only judge on the show, Banky will be helping identify the brand new VJ who will become one of the key faces of the music network, hosting programmes on MTV Base and on the MTV Base Block on STV.

Meanwhile, the EME chairman is set to release his long awaited fourth album 'R&BW.'

After his last solo release 'The W Experience' in 2010, the 31-year-old has spent the past two years building the EME label, nurturing the likes of Wizkid and Skales and signing more artistes (Shaydee, Niyola) to the label.

In January, Mr W announced that he would push back the release of his album until the state of the nation got better. In June, the EME crew released their first ever compilation album 'Empire State of Mind.'

He will be releasing his two new singles 'Yes/No' produced by Cobhams Asuquo and 'Good good loving' produced by Spellz.
