The singers hope to impress guest judge Mark Holden and Hot 100 FM radio host Amanda Pernechele for a spot in the Urban Quest Finals Concert on Saturday 2 April.
The acts include a brother duo from Wagaman who are into hard rock, a Palmerston hip-hop pair and an apprentice electrician from Katherine who dreams of “making it big and going to Nashville”.
The event, sponsored by Mission Australia, hopes to raise awareness of youth homelessness in the NT, where more than a quarter of the almost 5,000 homeless people are aged between 12 and 18.
