So, you've got the talent? Got the ambition, and want to show the world what you're made of, well this is your chance to show you're stuff! 'Live the Dream' in association with Choice FM will offer four/five lucky talented young MEN the opportunity of a lifetime! The chance to become part of the UK's hottest group working with the biggest names in music like award-winning producer Rishi Rich. The Live The Dream star search was officially announced on Friday 3rd October.

Regional heats throughout the UK in Birmingham, Manchester and London will be held over the coming weeks. All you have to do is come along with two passport photos of yourself and a short song to perform. Each contestant will audition in front of 3 judges who are seasoned professionals within the music industry. Successful auditionees will then be invited back to London for the final selection. London will see these plucky few whittled down to just five lucky guys who will be set on the road to chart success.

The final five guys will receive a record deal from a major record label and managed by Danny D (D-Mob) and Adrian Sykes whose experience within the music industry exceeds 20 years. They will also have their very own PR guru, stylist (Wale Adeyemi), famous for styling David Beckham, choreographer and vocal trainer. The group will also be flown to Norway for an all expenses trip to work with the hottest producers around - Stargate.

Stargate have been instrumental in the success of many of today's Pop/RnB acts having worked with artists such as Blue, Atomic Kitten, Mis-teeq, Romeo, Beenie Man and Holly Valance to name but a few.

Contributions from other hot producers such as Blacksmith and Rishi Rich responsible for remixing Craig David to the top of the charts will also help to ensure maximum success.

StarGate say, " Live The Dream is a great platform for the young, ambitious stars of tomorrow to get themselves seen and heard in front of industry professionals who can help them realise their potential. Having benefitted from expert career advice and management to help us acheive our own particular dreams, we are looking forward to the chance to help turn someone else's dream into reality and we look forward to working with the winners at the StarGate studios.."
