The winner of the 2 got a professional single recorded and a music video created for them.

The Kandi Factory special premiered on March 4, 2012 (Series Special Preview). The show was successfull and Bravo has now ordered a full season of the show.

The Kandy Factory auditions
The Kandi Factory Tryouts 2012 / 2013

The Kandi Factory will take aspiring pop stars, and attempt to transform them into pop superstars, fairly quickly. If you have 1/2 the talent, she has everything else you will need. She really does. Kandi will set you up with image consultants, voice coaches, stylists, sound guys, producers, and choreographers. All you have to do is bring it!

Kandi Burruss is taking her knack for creating hit-makers to reality television. It’s somewhat like Making the Band, but with a different twist. Kandi will be using her niche to take 2 pop-stars, one male and one female, down the path to stardom. She has enlisted her key liaisons in the entertainment realm to help her out.
The potential pop-stars will go through a boot-camp of sorts, with her choreographer, image maker, and her producer friend Vito. Kandi has given herself one week to do all of this. Once the the newbies are chosen, only one of them will release a single along with a music video. Yes, all this will go down in Atlanta. The spin-off, “The Kandi Factory” premiers next week, Sunday, March 4, 2012, at 10:00pm ET.

Kandi and her crew are looking for aspiring pop stars nationwide. You supply the drive, ambition and at least some talent and Kandi will supply the rest.

Are you ready for the pop star bootcamp? Here is your chance to audition for The Kandi Factory.

The show is only interested in adults at this point so you must be at least 18 years old to apply for the show. You do not need to have any experience or any special training. Mostly, the show is looking for raw talent, drive and ambition, plus, since it is a reality show, a great outgoing personality worthy of reality TV.

Do you think you have what it takes to make it in the music industry, audition for the show and find out.

The show has setup a website where they offer more information on auditions as well as an application for The Kandi Factory – Click here

Kandi Burruss is an award winning song writer

Kandi was previously part of Xscape and in 1999 her and her bandmate got a number 1 hit with “No Scrubs” for TLC. The single received a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group.

Kandi has written songs for such stars as Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Da Brat, NSYNC, N-Toon, Solo, Usher, Fantasia, Mýa and many others.

  3. LaKesha Albright

    Hey Kandi, I’m LaKesha but I go by Shay….I’m a 29 mother of 2. I do not know where to start….but I’m from Memphis TN. I am first soprano and have been singing all my life, but my life took a turn after I had my baby boy. He has health issues, he has a track.. which is a track and a tube in his stomach which is a Mikey button…..my mother can’t walk. I have been through a lot. I sing with all my heart, this is what I do. I love it… my kid’s sing…..just asking for one shot to prove that I have what it takes to give me and my family a better life, please give me a chance, thank you!!!

  4. Jada Johnson

    Hi Kandi, I am 13 years old. I am a talented singer who dreams of a acting and singer career. I am originally from Orlando Florida but moved 4 years ago to North Carolina. I have tried out for john Casablancas and another audition, they both accepted me but we declined. I am in love with singing. My mom loves the show and watches it every time it comes on, even replays! I make a’s and b’s in school and I am in honors classes. I am very athletic. Can you give me a chance, I can handle it. I want to make my mom and dad proud. Thank you for giving other people a chance you are really a blessing to many.

  5. Amy Martin

    Hi Kandy:) My name is Amy Martin and I am a 36 year old single mom that also takes care of my mother with severe alzheimers. I grew up with a musical family on my mother’s side as she, her sister, and 2 brothers would play the guitar while all the brothers and sisters would harmonize. As a kid I thought it was the most amazing thing and would jump right in to sing with them. Music has been such a huge part of my life! Whether it is to dance or sing to…I love my music and even enjoy writing my own songs. I also grew up hearing from the family that my mother was offered a country music recording contract after singing a song that she had written at 17 years old, but turned it down to marry my dad. Thank goodness or I wouldn’t be here, but I don’t want to go my whole life thinking “what if” too! I would love to have the opportunity to stand on stage and make my mom proud before she no longer remembers who I am. I lost my father to cancer 8 years ago so I know that he would be watching down smiling as well. I just finished having my 12th and 13th surgery on both hands for severe carpel tunnel, but just like after any other surgery I pick myself back up and I am ready to go again. I will always try to be the best that I can be every day because we only get one chance at this thing we call life. While I love all types of music I tend to feel the R&B and Pop music much more. Xscape was one of my favorite groups back when I was in high school. I can’t express how much this would mean to me in words, but the thought of being in a recording studio would make this life so much brighter:)So I am asking for one shot PLEASE Kandi!!!! I am ready to shine. I was part of an American All Star Dance team 2 years in a row as I got to dance in London and then at the Peach Bowl when I was younger. I am quite the determined person when it involves things that I love and of course music is my world (Well besides my kids and mom). Would love to hear back from you!
    Thank you and big HUGS.

  6. Hey What’s Good Kandy!

    My name is Joy, I’m 19 years young from the bay area Oakland CA. I’m a female rapper. The problem is I’ve never been in a studio but I love to freestyle and I’m pretty good at it, since I was 11 yrs old.

    If you pick me, nothing is holding me back..no relationship, no kids..nothing. I’m willing to travel and be in the studio 24/7.

    Girl, I know I have what your looking for!
    I have the look, personality and talent. I think you can make a nice song for me to rap to. I have a couple videos on youtube of me free styling but if with your help you can make my dreams come true so I can become a real rapper. They need a new female rapper in the game! I’m willing to do or try anything! If your interested in me you can hit me up on email. I really hope to hear from you:)

    I can bring Joy to the rap game!

    GoodDay.

He do not wear his pants below his bottom however his flow and messages are inspiring and meaningful. He has something new and different to offer. Please listen.

    I want to be on Kandi Factory. I really want to go to the casting call for Kandi Factory and be part of the cast in 2013 or 2014, whenever the next season will be. I am such a good singer and I have been singing in my church for 7 years. I can reach the highest notes and sound like a professional singer even though I have never had any formal training. I am 47 years old. I have 4 children and 3 grand-children. I really want to succeed at being a professional singer since I never had the opportunity before because I was raising my kids. This would be the opportunity of a lifetime for me to be able to audition for Kandi and show her how committed I am to finally realizing my lifelong dream. I know with some coaching I can be great and I will amaze everybody. I am very committed and will do anything to get a shot.

    Sorry for seeming stalkerish but I really want a chance which it seems far fetched with the ratio of having a chance but I’m praying and stay prayed up not perfect but I believe. I wanted to say search itspunkinbitch on YouTube to see some of my work and hear some of my songs also I make beats. Music is my passion, if it was my job it wouldn’t feel like a job because I love it so much. Will there be castings in Charlotte or a place to send a tape to? Choose me!

  20. Luvinnia Flowers

    All my life I have known I’m supposed to be famous. I have done a lot of foot work but fail to meet the right person b/c in this world sometimes its who you know. I watch your show and other shows that show how famous peple make it and daydream. I’m a female rapper from n.c. I know you think n.c she’s country but there’s only one way to find out and I’m amazing lol but I want you to be the judge. Give me an opportunity and I promise you are going to want me on your team. I work in mental health but my dream is to be famous so I can help financially with kids stuck in the mental health system. Choose me I won’t let you down…ps ItsPunkinBitch is my stage name

  24. fatin alquddus

    Hi Kandi,
    I am a 34 year old mother of three. I have been dancing and singing every since I was able to talk and walk. I think that you are a great example of what can be accomplished when you focus. I have been tryng to get into the business for a long time. I have a real void in my life because I have not had a chance to display my talents to the world the way I would like. If you gave me a real chance to perform for you, it would not be a waste of your time. Even if I’m not what your looking for, I can say I gave it a real try.

  25. Tiffany Arterberry

    My daughter is a star. She is has auditioned & been in numerous musicals, talent shows, etc & is currently in college . She is a part of the Butler College Headliners Show Choir and they are awesome!! She is 19 yrs old and a genuine performer/entertainer not just a singer. It would be fabulous if she could audition for the Kandy Factory.

  26. Sharon

  29. Irvin mccurry

I try to have faith but TN will kill your dreams, just this Lil town I’m from. I know you don’t deal with rappers… but that’s my thing. I would like to say that you are sexy as hell on housewives. I guess I give up fast when I should have more Haiti’s but I know I will never be on your show, but I still love you.

  38. molly confidential

    Hey kandi, I am a 30 year old Singer. I’ve been singing all my life. I have successful people in my family who made it to the top but decided to take others with them. We, my family are in bad shape. I fell scorn and I need people to know God doesn’t stop blessing. Pretty sure it will embarrass some people but my hunger is more than any ego.

  39. Rosalene Lee

    Hello! Miss Kandi, I normally never do this because I am a very private person but I too had a dream of becoming a actress and or singer one day but now I can watch my children reach for those same dreams because they are all talented and have beautiful voices. My daughter is a very beautiful meek homebody that when on first meeting you’d never believe the beautiful music that comes from her strong but yet angelic voice. I could play around back in the day with hitting Minnie Riperton notes but she does it with no sweat! Stay Kandi, love your personality!!!

She was adopted, but has now lost both of her parents so I have just accepted her as my own and would like to help her as much as I can.

Give me an chance to live my dream! Please make my dream come true! Thank you! Biggrome

  50. Jerica Felice Anderson

    Sorry about the question marks it was a picture of stars on my phone.

  51. Jerica Felice Anderson

    WOW! What a fun opportunity! I would be crazy NOT to give it a try.

    My name is Jerica (pronounced like Erica just add the J in front) lol
    I Am 25 years old, single and no children BUT I have a Huge family! We are called the superfamily lol ( lame) I know 🙂
    I believe with all my heart that I was born to be a star.
    I love to sing BUT I have to admit I do need vocal training. I used to sing so much when I was younger and I don’t know where that passion went but I’m glad it’s back. I’m NOT a terrible singer but my voice does crack and could be stronger.
    I have natural star quality! I love to perform and I love to dance.
    I have a lot to prove to myself that I can do this and I would love for this to be my first opportunity to show myself, Kandi and her team and of course the World!!!!

    Choose me you won’t regret it…:) Love, Jerica
