Mützig Star winner, Sakwe Time, attributes victory to God.

Sakwe Time brandishing her trophy

The winner of the 2024 edition of the Mutzig Star Vocal Competition, Sakwe Time Julienne Carol, has attributed her victory to God. 



Sakwe, who bagged the 5 million FCFA trophy in Cameroon's most prominent musical competition, recounted her journey to the top during a meet-and-greet with the press on Saturday December 14. 

It should be recalled that Sakwe was proclaimed winner at the grand finale on November 29. This win came after failing in her first attempt as participant. It was during her second try that Sakwe grabbed the winning prize, which includes an album recording deal. 

The young woman thus follows in the footsteps of Paulin Sietambie, winner of the 2023 edition. Other previous winner in Longue Longue, Martino Ngalle, among others.

Talking to the press, Sakwe Time recounted that her second participation in the competition was motivated by a good friend based abroad, who insisted she makes a video to help her apply for the competition's casting. However, the journey was not all that smooth but she trusted God.  

After succeeding in being amongst the 15 selected participants of the competition, Sakwe said it was a difficult task to reach the finals, given the quality of the various participants, among whom was Natsoul, who emerged second runner-up.

"So I said to God, this is it Lord, let's go and today we are here, I'm very thankful to God and those who supported and encouraged me," she said. 

In addition to the believe in God, her rich experience as a vocal coach enabled her to  identify the strengths of her greatest counterpart, Natsoul, with ease and whom she said she knew he would be one of her greatest threats throughout the competition.

This same strength of experience, plus more than eight years of working with renowned artists like the late Manu Dibango, Karece Fotso, and others, coupled with her rich American Gospel background, according to the winner of the Mützig Star 2024 edition, is what made her outshine the other participants.

While she continues to be thankful to God Almighty for this milestone journey, Sakwe Time revealed that an album sponsored by Mützig, titled "Le Meilleur" and a maxi single, is on the horizon, and many other musical projects are in the pipeline.

To the organisers of the Mützig Star competition, she extended heartfelt gratitude and called on Mützig brand to continue promoting Cameroonian culture through the Mützig Star competition.
