Independent singer-song writer Kaitlyn Frances is getting closer to winning a competition that would provide the chance for to open for music superstars like Shawn Mendes, Coldplay, Doja Cat and Black Eyed Peas.
The 24-year-old Chatham native, now living in Windsor, is currently holding down the top spot in the pop category of the Opening Act competition to earn a chance to perform at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Frances said vote tally isn’t provided, but added, “All I know is I’m in first place and I’ve just held that spot throughout the whole competition, so far.
“It’s crazy, I didn’t expect it.”
Frances said she still needs people to vote, noting she is confident she’ll make it into the top five, since she’s held the top spot in the pop category from the beginning.
“It’s awesome that I’ve had this continued support, because it is tedious having to remember to vote every single day,” she said. “I’m very grateful for the people that have been doing it.”
Frances said the next round of voting also begins Thursday for the group finals in order to advance to quarterfinals.
Frances said she posts the link to vote for her – www.theopenact.com/2022/kaitlyn-frances – every day on her Instagram @kaitlynfrancess and Facebook page www.facebook.com/kaitlynfrancess.
She has been enjoying success with her song Close to Me, which is getting regular radio play on 16 stations across Canada.
She also created quite a buzz when she announced on TikTok that her single, Electric, was on Spotify and Apple Music.
