As the founder of Denda Works - a creative agency that leverages the incredible creativity and ingenuity of contemporary African culture to help brands create products, campaigns and experiences and a student of history, I've always been fascinated by the parallels between Hiphop and Afrobeats. In this article, I explore the exponential growth in black-owned music, film, fashion and sports businesses, following the 1989 arrival of Hiphop on the Grammy stage. Using it as a case study for what the future might hold for Global brands and Afrobeats-affiliated businesses following the arrival of African music on the Grammy stage. It's a bit of a long read, but read, comment, share, highlight, disagree, challenge.

Very hot off the heels of setting an all-time, historic record in the music industry (not going to mention age like all media outlets do, because it's completely irrelevant), this happens. It's one of the many, many, many reasons why Madonna has always been, and will continue to be, one of the most brilliant marketers we've ever seen. #StrikeWhileTheIronIsHot #AlwaysBeAware #marketing #business #WomenInBusiness #BusinessWomen #icon #legend

New Post: Sony Music Receives $700M from Apollo Global for Music Investments - https://lnkd.in/gnhAkCTa - Investment giant Apollo Global Management is backing Sony Music Group to the tune of $700 million to help the company fund music acquisitions, it was announced Friday (July 26). The deal could provide the financial assistance needed for Sony’s planned acquisition of Queen‘s recording and music publishing catalogs. Sources have told Billboard the band is seeking $1.2 billion for its catalogs and ancillary income streams, and Bloomberg reported in May that Sony Music was working with another investor on the deal. Related Downtown Music Holdings Board Exploring Sale 07/11/2024 “We are pleased to provide a bespoke capital solution to an affiliate of one of the world’s leading companies,” said Apollo partner Jamshid Ehsani in a statement. “This investment allows our clients to invest in high grade securities while helping Sony to execute its business plans.” Apollo, which has $671 billion of assets under management, isn’t a newcomer to music intellectual property. The firm is the financial backer of HarborView Equity Partners, an investment firm launched in 2021 by Sherrese Clarke Soares, co-founder and former CEO of Tempo Music. In 2011, Apollo acquired CKx, Inc., the owner of American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance producer 19 Entertainment. Music companies occasionally partner with financial companies to acquire catalogs. In fact, Sony has taken this route before: In 2021, the company joined with Eldridge to pay $500 million for Bruce Springsteen‘s recorded music and publishing catalogs. (Eldridge is an investor in Billboard‘s owner, Penske Media Corporation.) In 2023, Shamrock Holdings joined Universal Music Group’s $200 million acquisition of some income streams and music assets of hip-hop producer and artist Dr. Dre. - #news #business #world -------------------------------------------------- Download: #Google #Font #Tester - https://lnkd.in/gKAZYbVN
