Do you have girl group ambitions? If so, Kelly Rowland and BET are looking for you!

As reported, the singer – who has nabbed Grammys both as a solo artist and as a member of Destiny’s Child – is the face of a new talent search titled ‘Chasing Destiny.’

The show, which is set to air in early 2016, will follow Rowland as she pieces together music’s next big girl group.

In a unique move, reminiscent somewhat of Diddy’s Making The Band (which of course birthed Danity Kane), the network have announced an open casting call.
