The Music Business Academy (MBA) for Africa has called for applications for its training and development programme for the second year.
The programme, which is geared towards developing the next generation of music industry executives in Africa, opens registration on April, 11.
The MBA is developed by iManage Africa, in partnership with Music Ally and Dr. Carlos Chirinos of the Music Business Department at New York University.
Led by the MBA’s new program director Elizabeth Sobowale, this year’s edition is powered by YouTube Music.
Highlighting some of the benefits of this year’s programme, Head of Music Sub-Saharan Africa, YouTube, Addy Awofisayo said it would develop the next generation of music industry executives in Africa.
“Africa’s music industry produces some of the world’s most creative content and contributes significantly to global pop culture,” Awofisayo said.
“This initiative enables the support of more creatives who will play a critical role in the continent’s fast-growing creative economy.”
According to the organisers, the class which is scheduled to run between July and November 2022, will teach students about a range of music business trends and technologies, as well as give them hands-on experience in releasing and promoting music to create sustainable careers for artists.
