Simon Cowell is getting into business with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s company on a new reality show spotlighting DJs.

Cowell’s Syco Entertainment, Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television are planning to launch “DJ Superstar,” a live international show to find the world’s best DJs.

“We’ve been working on this show for over a year and we wanted to partner with the right people,” Cowell said in a statement. He said that as soon as he met Jada Pinkett-Smith and her producing partner, Miguel Melendez, he knew he had found them.

“DJs are the new rock stars. It feels like the right time to make the show,” Cowell said.

The partners will soon announce the show’s U.S. and U.K. broadcasters, said the announcement.

“This show will comb the world to find a new breed of talent,” Pinkett-Smith said in a statement.
Cowell is the force behind Fox’s “X Factor” and NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
