Ghana to host African Music Conference (AfroMusicon), focusing on ‘The Business of Music’
Ghana will host a first of a kind music conference, which will center
African music and stakeholders.
The conference seeks to combine the
power of music with the solid teachable moments from moguls, pioneers
and industry leaders from across the world, build capacity and put in
place structures that can support the creative arts industry. For its
maiden edition, the African Music Conference (AfroMusicon) will focus on
‘The Business of Music’.
AfroMusicon will be a three-day event, and will breakdown operations
of the music industry and tackle different aspects of what the meaning
of ‘Showbiz’ truly is. It will also include a number of unplugged
sessions at different venues simultaneously. Bringing together
established and up and coming artistes, the conference will create an
avenue for them to form partnerships for growth.
Being put together by EchoHouse, a 360-creative youth marketing
agency in Ghana, the CEO, Beryl Agyekum stated “The business of music is
an income generating one that should transcend geographical and
cultural barriers, unfortunately in Ghana, we don’t see it happen often.
In today’s world, some of the richest people are in the music business
and with this conference, we hope to delve into how Ghanaians in the
industry can enter and own this space and effectively grow the
industry.”
For all those in the creative arts industry, this will offer them the
platform to learn and form partnerships for growth. AfroMusicon will
therefore help establish a system that can help build structures
The event is scheduled to happen in May 2018 in Accra, and is
supported by Innova DDB and Pulse Creatives with media partners;
Kuulpeeps, BBnZ and DGN, Ameyaw Debrah Media, NY Live, George Britton
Media and Enews Ghana.
