The Britain’s Got Talent <\/a>judges are likely to not know what’s hit them on Saturday night as a performer takes to the stage who’ll need little introduction to viewers tuning in from the North East. As, while he first introduces himself to Simon Cowell and co as ‘Kevin from Gateshead<\/a>‘ he’s known to plenty of Geordies as local dance legend MC Tazo.<\/p>\n Typically starting at Easter, Britain’s Got Talent started earlier than usual this year, meaning the new series is now well into its stride, as a fresh batch of hopefuls aim to make it through the audition stages and edge closer to following in the footsteps of former BGT champions lile first ever winner Paul Potts and his successors, including Diversity, Collabro, Lost Voice Guy and young magician Harry Moulding, who took the crown after topping the public vote last year.<\/p>\n To make it through his audition and bid for a place in the live knockouts, MC Tazo will need to impress original Britain’s Got Talent judges<\/a> Simon and Amanda Holden, long serving colleague Alesha Dixon and KSI, who is now a full time replacement for Bruno Tonioli, having impressed as a guest judge in the past.<\/p>\n Prior to his audition airing on Saturday night, little was known about just what MC Tazo would be doing, other than that he’d be performing an original track.<\/p>\n Who is MC Tazo on Britain’s Got Talent?<\/p>\n Hailing from Gateshead, MC Tazo’s real name is Kevin Hogg. He has been a regular on the North East dance and Makina scene for years now, providing the soundtrack to many locals’ youth and nights out at clubs and raes across the region. And, as well as being a regular in bars and clubs, including the legendary New Monkey in Sunderland<\/a>, Tazo has performed at huge events like Lost Minds, Noughty 90s and Clubland Live.<\/p>\n He has recorded songs in support of both England and his beloved Newcastle United and, was also reported on by ChronicleLive, for releasing an anti-knife crime tribute to murdered teenager Gordon Goult.<\/p>\n Letting the cat out of the bag on his Britain’s Got Talent appearance on Instagram, MC Tazo posted: ‘The secret is finally out\u2026I\u2019m on Britain\u2019s Got Talent!!
