Today Simon Cowell’s entertainment arm of his media corporation SYCO announced, in partnership with Sony Pictures Television and Will and Jada-Pinkett Smith‘s Overbrook Entertainment, plans for a new TV show based on finding the next big DJ.
The music mogul took to twitter to announce he will be working with the Hollywood actress to go in search of the world’s greatest DJ, but he has ruled himself out of appearing on the as-yet untitled project, which has been in development for over a year. He wrote: “Excited to announce new DJ show. I will NOT be judging this show. Excited to be working with @jadapsmith. Stay tuned! (sic).”
Labels such as Defected Records sarcastically commented on Simon’s ability to “always spot a bandwagon”. obviously a reference to the meteoric rise of EDM in the last 2 years, especially across America.
Pinkett-Smith the 52-year-old X Factor boss on the new reality program explained: “This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent. I am happy to be creating it alongside Simon Cowell, the Sony team, and my partner Miguel Melendez, on behalf of the Overbrook family.”
So bets on who will be the illustrious judges of this majestic piece of cow dung, could Paris possibly make an appearance?
