"Kom wat dichter bijā, "Vechter", "Ellie", and "Walk on Waterā: one catchy tune after the other, passionately sung throughout Flanders. But who will sing Regi's next hit? Regi is in pursuit of a unique, powerful voice in "Regi Academy."
In order to do so, he enlists the help of his personal 'fab fourā. Members of Regiās jury include Jaap Reesema and Olivia Trappeniers, with whom he has scored multiple chart-topping hits, and also Lester Williams, who has been Regi's right-hand man for many years. Camille Dhont is available backstage to provide candidates with insider tips and extra mental support. Camille, Jaap, Olivia, and Lester are perfectly suited to assist Regi in his quest for an outstanding voice. They know better than anyone else how to collaborate with him. The winners of āRegi Academyā are chosen in a sold-out āSportpaleisā during a live broadcast.
