About
We’re building a youth-focused music and arts festival that spotlights emerging creatives from overlooked Nigerian communities—Africa’s own rolling loud, redefining the continent’s music scene.
Impact
By spotlighting emerging creatives from underrepresented communities Through collaboration with local brands and ecosystems, we empower them, boost economic opportunities, and create cultural movement that reshapes the continent’s creative landscape
Progress
Since August 2025, we’ve hosted three events in two major Nigerian cities, showcasing over 40 creatives. We’ve drawn more than 1,000 attendees, and local vendors and entrepreneurs have collectively raised over 2 million Naira.
Team
Over the past three years, I’ve worked deeply in Nigeria’s creative and cultural scene, and I saw firsthand how talented artists from underrepresented regions often go unseen. That’s why my team and I created this festival, to give them a platform.
