Grow with New Wave Africa

Spotlight Features

Get your story told where it matters. We put upcoming artists right in front of fans, DJs, and A&Rs who are always looking for the next big thing. This is how you move from just another name to the name people can’t stop talking about.

Step-by-Step Guides

Every artist has talent, but not every artist has the map. Our Step-by-Step Guides break down the tough parts of the journey: from distributing your first track, to building a fanbase, landing media coverage, negotiating with promoters, and even monetising your music. No fluff. Just real moves that turn raw creativity into real traction.

Weekly Opportunities

Every week we drop fresh updates — gigs, grants, playlist plugs, and open calls. Instead of scrolling endlessly, we bring the chances straight to you. All you need to do is show up.
