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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
