SLANG
MUSICGROUP FAMILY TO ENTER “HOUSE OF DIDDY”
CHICAGO – Entertainment mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is at it
again with another reality television series called “Making His Band,” which is
currently in production. Auditions
were recently held in New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles to select
contestants for the upcoming installment of Diddy’s established “Making the Band” program on MTV networks. This season, however, is slightly
different than its predecessors and is more intimately attached to Combs
himself. While seasons past
revolved around creating a superstar band under his Bad Boy Entertainment
record label, the upcoming season focuses on potential candidates vying to back
Diddy himself, in Comb’s live touring band.
Amongst
thousands of entrants auditioning for the chance to be on the new reality show
was singer Morgan Mallory, a young artist produced by Slang MusicGroup along with Slang Producer's Rick Robinson and Sharay Reed. All were selected to go to Los Angeles for further trials.
Morgan Mallory is a 21 year old native
of Chicago, who is currently attending the world-renowned Berklee College of
Music in Boston, pursuing a degree in Music Business. Morgan, a rising Hip Hop/
R&B vocalist and songwriter is currently a member of the following
ensembles at Berklee: The Neo-Soul Ensemble, The Latin Jazz, Rock, Funk, and
R&B Ensemble; The Gospel Ensemble; and The A-Capella Ensemble.
