“We are so fortunate to be part of such an incredible platform to showcase our music which we have poured our collective soul into,” added The Sisterhood.
“With the new series, we are leveling the playing field for highly talented emerging artists by helping them cut through the noise,” said Bart Peters, Vice President of Development and Production, AT&T. “We are giving them the same performance opportunity for the television broadcast, online exposure and promotion.
