Testimonials
"We are delighted to be supporting the evolution of this event which puts the African music business centre stage. The rise of Afrobeats over the past few years has been nothing short of meteoric; PPL is proud to work with some of its brightest stars to drive their international neighbouring rights revenues as this music reaches new audiences around the world."
Kate Reilly
Chief Membership & People Officer [PPL]
"The IFPI reported Africa as the fastest-growing music market in 2022. The African Music Summit will propel further growth through exposure of opportunities in Africa, and collaboration between African music creators and the world and amongst the African music players. SAMPRA finds a fit with the objectives of the Summit and is excited to be part of this journey."
Adv Ntsietso Mokitimi-Makhofola
Chief Legal & Revenue Officer/ Company Secretary [SAMPRA]
"The great opportunities across both North and Sub-Saharan Africa are starting to be realised as they emerge as the continent's fastest growing and thriving music regions, largely thanks to the rising global popularity of the Afrobeats scene. We are excited to partner on this event to bring the British music business together to support the expanding music market in Africa."
Dr Jo Twist OBE
Chief Executive [BPI]
"I am delighted to support the African Music Summit, the world is finally beginning to feel the power and potential of our music but we need more of these events and conversations to dig into licencing, touring, product and merchandise as we urgently drive monetization for African creators at home and abroad."

"The worlds a much smaller place when you’re connected to a global community, and this is what the AMS events represents; a continent in one room. Which is why I’m looking forward to the follow up event in Ghana. For seamless networking between London, and the continent Africa, look no further - see you there."
