Mathew Knowles’ MTV reality series, “Breaking From Above,” which debuted in other countries last fall, finally premiered in the U.S. this week. But you’d better check it out now, for it runs on Nick Teen through today and Friday.
Beyonce’s dad’s show features the music executive’s newest all-female act, From Above. he series will follow From Above’s five U.K. natives (Ashley, Daisy, Seyi, Chelsey and Monique) as they go through his artist development program, which consists of intense physical, vocal, media and choreography training.
Knowles burst upon the scene by managing her daughter’s group, Destiny’s Child — and later others, incluidng Blaque and Trin-i-tee 5:7. He serves as the show’s creator and executive producer, and said airing it in the U.S. offers “a great platform for the ladies.”
“The U.S. launch is very unique and interesting — all of the key players are from the U.S., with the exception of the ladies, who all reside in London,” he said in a statement provided to The Huffington Post.
The show’s choreographers, other staff members and “glam team” are based in the U.S., and 95 percent of filming took place in Knowles’ native Houston.
“Our goal is continue to build [From Above’s] brand internationally and use the U.S. launch as an introduction to the group and their music,” Knowles explained.
