Four local musicians have been selected to participate in CTV's new reality show, The Launch.
After a national casting call and juried process that reviewed more than 10,000 emerging performers, 30 have been selected to participate in the new six-part, hour-long series, debuting in early 2018 on CTV.
The series' premise will showcase celebrity music experts mentoring unsigned talent as they attempt to "create the next chart-topping song." Celebrity mentors include Shania Twain, Fergie, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder and world-renowned music mogul Scott Brochette, who is best known for discovering Taylor Swift.

The series premiere date has not been announced, but a series of behind the scenes videos have been posted HERE.
