Meet Sarz, UnitedMasters partner artist and the mastermind behind some of Afrobeats' biggest hits. For years, Afrobeats in the U.S. was relegated to "if you know, you know" status, with big names in Nigeria, such as P-Square, D'banj, and 2Baba, struggling to break into the mainstream. That changed in the late 2010s when the genre started to gain momentum stateside, with superstars including Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido solidifying themselves with massive crossover hits. Award-winning producer and artist Sarz is the architect of many of those hits, such as "One Dance," "Monalisa," and "Happiness," which soundtracks Chase's new "A Taste of West Africa" campaign. Learn more about Sarz: https://lnkd.in/e3UMe8am Watch "A Taste of West Africa," staring Chef Tolu Eros, Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan, ESPN analyst and WNBA player Chiney Ogwumike, former NBA player Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Sarz, and more. https://lnkd.in/eTtsR6Zt Want to license Sarz's music to elevate your next visual campaign?

This clip covers what I think to be one of the most important talking points of the music industry today ⬇️ Is where we find talent changing? 🎶 It's easy to think that a viral TikTok can catapult an artist to fame, but the reality can often be very different. 🤳Virality can certainly help an artist breakthrough, but in the majority of cases it isn't strong enough to build a long term career on its own, particularly from one song. 🎙In this podcast episode, Judge Jules points out that signing a track based on a viral moment very rarely leads to subsequent track signings for the artist, and discusses where he finds new long-term talent instead! 👀☁️
"SoundCloud is about artists... it’s the most potent source of new talent." ⚡ As announced in Rolling Stone Australia & New Zealand, the first guest on our new Musiio by SoundCloud podcast is DJ legend Jules O'Riordan (aka Judge Jules). From being an electronic music producer and former BBC Radio 1 host to leading a parallel career as a specialist music lawyer, Judge Jules versatile career gives him an incredibly multifaceted perspective on the music industry. So if you want to find out more about: 📱 The unexpected reality of TikTok hits 🎵 A&R’s current favourite talent-scouting platform ⚖️ The burning question: is Judge Jules actually a judge?

Hello everyone! I’ll be making videos to talk about the challenges that upcoming artists face in Nigeria’s music industry. It’s not an easy road, let me tell you. Cos we have Limited resources, lack of exposure, and difficulty getting airplay and these factors can make it tough to break through. But you know what? We’re not letting that stop us! Music Business is our hustle and we‘ll keep grinding, and pushing our music out there. We’ll be leveraging social media, collaborating with fellow artists, and making our voices heard. It’s all about perseverance and believing in our craft. So, to all the upcoming artists out there, let’s keep doing what we know how to do best, keep creating, and never give up. We’re here to make our mark and show the world what we’re capable of. Let’s rise together! 🎵💪”. #Reels #trend #musicindustry #mavinrecords #musicbusiness

The #singer-songwriter is now a co-founder of Songbox, a music-sharing website that enables the safe storage and distribution of #audio files. After he started utilising the platform two years ago, the 63-year-old Grammy #awardwinner started working with the Glasgow-based company. Users of Songbox can make a #playlist and transmit it to anybody they choose via a private link. When a file is received, its status, including whether it was listened to, is communicated to the user. The #business positions itself as "the classy alternative to Soundcloud" for privately sharing #music and asserts that its #audioquality is better than that of rivals. Bryan, whose songs include the classics "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" and "Summer of '69," said: "Songbox allows me to share #newmusic that I'm working on in a manner that I couldn't before. It keeps my early ideas and draughts private and secure until I'm ready to formally release the music because I don't need to give out MP3 files or tangible items. Michael Coll, a Scottish artist, was frustrated with his attempts to promote his music by burning CDs and mailing them, which gave rise to the idea for Songbox. The founder of Songbox stated: "Like many other bands, we would send out demos and never even know if they had been received, much less listened to." Michael worked as a #webdeveloper in the music industry, so he also witnessed the opposite side of the story. "At my #employment, I would observe the effort of others as hundreds of demos would arrive every week but would just pile up in a corner without being opened. It was referred to as "the corner where dreams went to die." Songbox asserts that it already has thousands of users worldwide, including Grammy winners and "hobbyists". Noel Hogan, a founding member of The Cranberries, is one of their customers. #Songbox #Glasgow #funding #hobbyists #songs #MusicSharing #GrammyWinner #HighAudioQuality #MusicPromotion #MusicIndustry #MusicTech #Startups #CreativeProcess #Musician #Songwriter #Innovation #DigitalMusic #MusicCollaboratio #musictechnology Songbox

If Daniel Ek (the head honcho of Spotify) had to come out and make a statement like this today, we have every reason to pat ourselves on the back, South Africa 🇿🇦 👏 Our creative industry is really on demand and booming, regardless of whether it concerns art, fashion, film or music in this case. 55% of the global audience outside Africa have streamed Amapiano as their music genre of choice is quite amazing to fathom. One can wonder if our artists profit in a huge way, when you think from a royalties perspective. Surely, a marketing insight like this could be utilized in some way or the other by Brand SA and the overall corporate brands making up our country's commerce.

What a journey so far! When I set up Musigamy in 2016, as many young entrepreneurs, I started from scratch with no songwriter, no client, no vision yet of what will become my company. It is always hard to communicate about something you need to build. However convincing is already a need to create a team, to get the confidence from the writers. Hard to create a decent website in these conditions! ahah More than seven years later, we have achieved some exciting challenges and have been developing a clear vision of how we are helping our songwriters and clients to bring more value with their talent and music. We have been so lucky to build through the years strong relationships with more and more partners and we can see the future with much ambition. At this step, coming back to communication to explain who we are and what we do makes total sense. That’s the reason why we decided to dedicate proper time and resources to work on this beautiful brand we brought to this mature state and we are proud of. It means a new visual identity created by the talented Pierrick Guidou, already responsible of the artwork for some of in-house projects and a more active communication on social media as well as this great website thanks to the contribution of the amazing Victoria Ory (11ème Dimension). We can’t say how happy we are to work with her after many years of collaboration when she was at CSDEM. Musigamy is a company probably more known for its remarkable expertise in rights administration and the fact to be one of the first to be always in to talk about our great job with passion to give a better understanding to artists and music professionals about what we do. We are not just admin, we share all the challenges that are facing our clients and are excited to bring adapted solutions to each of them. We are animated by a passion for building bridges between the administrative and creative worlds. Musigamy is also a team, I would like to dare to say a family of talented songwriters in whom we believe strongly, we crossed a lot of development steps and have been investing on for years. We aim at making their names, faces and music known from all the followers and music industry fellow through this new era of active pulic communication. You will see and hear more during the next few months! Thanks a lot for following and supporting us! I hope this website and all the communication to come will make you know more about our activity and vision of every aspect of music publishing. Cheers, Philippe Manivet, CEO of Musigamy https://www.musigamy.com

I believe in making my message simple when I work with creatives. There are so many “music industry” experts who make videos imploring indie creatives to try this and try that. I can totally understand why so many creatives can become overwhelmed trying to figure out how to navigate successfully in today’s music ecosystem. So for me it’s about teaching creatives to start with these two fundamental goals to achieve any level of success: 1. Create A Framework For Success. 2. Only Focus On Those Who Have Made It A Point To Make An Investment In You!!! I think with a keen focus on these goals it allows for a much more clearer focus when the “smoke and mirrors” of the industry begin to appear and clog your mental focus. #supportindiemusic #bridgingthegap #valuerelationships #creativeindustryrelationships #makeadifference #payitforward #musicbusiness #fundamentals #frameworkforsuccess #musicgoals #coreaudience #superfans #ncourage #nspire
