The most sought-after teen magazine in Sri Lanka, Chokolaate, for the third consecutive year created a platform for young musical talent to emerge through Centrestage 2018. After gruelling semi-finals in four categories, namely Solo Singing, Group Singing, Band and the latest Beat-Boxing category, the Grand Finale was held on 26 October at the Bishops College Auditorium. An eminent panel of judges, including Lelum Rathnayake, Yashan De Silva, Naresh Sathasivam, Kumudini David, Suresh De Silva, and Azlan Sheriffdeen, selected the top spots of the four categories, while the Most Popular Performer was picked by audience voting.

Shenuka Gunatilleke sang his way to solo glory with a fine rendition of Josh Groban’s You Raise Me Up. Cousins Malithra and Oshara won the Group category, while a young but extremely talented band JukeBox walked away with the top prize in the band category. The inaugural beat box champion was Allister Abeywardene.
