Make Music Nigeria, a non-profit that celebrates World Music Day in Nigeria, is preparing to mark its tenth anniversary. This year, the spotlight continues to shine on what matters most: helping artists grow, not just perform.
The two-day event will begin on June 20, 2025, with a Music Business Conference at Alliance Française in Lagos. The conference, themed ‘The Artiste Blueprint: Craft, Clarity and Career,’ will highlight the business side of music. The Music Business Conference will explore key subjects such as streaming, publishing, branding, and music law, with the aim to provide upcoming creatives and artistes with the necessary tools required to build sustainable careers through panel sessions, workshops, and a masterclass that will include a catalogue review where artists can submit music and receive feedback from A&R professionals.
