True success requires intentionality and persistence. Maintaining this success requires continued effort and a well-defined strategy. Before you scratch your head wondering what to do or keep wishing for a breakthrough in the African Music industry, here are some tips to explore or preferably a roadmap to guide your way to stardom.

Start with Optimizing your online presence. It’s time to step out of your immediate circle. You need other people across the borders to know you and appreciate your work. So, start with a quick audit of your online profile—not just social media. You need a music portfolio or electronic press kit that showcases you, your skills, discography, and other key information about you. The African Music Library is a great platform to leverage for this at no cost.

Live performances are a good platform to polish your skills. Eh! Don’t wrack your head on which big stage to lobby for. It is better to start small. Explore neighborhood hangout spots, bars and nightclubs, hotels, and others. Papa Wemba, Oriental Brother Int’l band, and many others started like that. In addition, you will learn and master your stage presence as you utilize these opportunities before the big break.

In addition, you’ve got to leverage Streaming Platforms and Get Playlisted. How? Take advantage of platforms such as Josplay and other digital music streaming platforms and stores that can significantly expand your audience reach. The Josplay platform is a DSP dedicated to African and Afro-Carribean music. Rest assured that your music will not become a pin in a haystack.

One more thing that you need is your fans’ support. No man is an island! You can’t do it all. There’s strength in numbers. Encourage your fans to stream your songs and the playlists in which you are featured. This support would definitely make a big difference by boosting engagement and improving the likelihood of your music being added to more playlists in the future.
