“During a special day at the festival, the three finalists of Gent Jazz Talent presented their projects to both a professional jury and the public. Ola Tunji managed to convince both sides, winning not only the title of Gent Jazz Talent 2025 but also the Audience Award! With both the highest number of public votes and the jury’s approval, Ola Tunji emerged as the overall winner of the competition.”
