Building the Band — Season 1
Who would you choose to join your band without seeing them?
About this season
In the series we will meet a number of talented singers who aim to be part of a band. To form their bond, they'll have one-on-one conversations (and singing sessions) to figure out who they have the best chemistry with. Only when they decide who they want to form a band with do the different members get to see each other. From then on, they will have to work together to achieve the best performance.
