It’s been about 3 months in @cbaforafrica and it’s been months of learning and unlearning. Learning that what the music business should be like is quite different from what the music business is like in Nigeria, and I like that they’re training us for that. Because there’s….

@the_d3nnis @cbaforafrica Yesssur!

One thing I’ve learnt from the CBA for AFRICA so far is that relationships move things just as much as talent does. A lot of people are trying to “blow”, but the people who really last understand community, consistency, timing, and positioning. #CBAForAfrica26 @cbaforafrica

For the past 4 months, my weekends got pretty busy because I’ve been studying at @cbaforafrica This is one of the schools I’ve always wanted to be a part of for the past 2 years and having to be a cohort this year , it’s been nothing but awesome. #CBAForAfrica26

@Kraneyoye @Acesoundz @cbaforafrica Accountant too. Lowkey.

@Acesoundz @cbaforafrica Add Lawyer o 😅😅 And cheers my broski 🥂

Enrolling in @cbaforafrica broadened my perspective on the creative industry. Talent alone isn’t enough, you need structure, business knowledge, a team, and most importantly, a protected mind. More to come from #cbaforafrica26 🫶🏿🙏🏿

Being a part of the #CBAForAfrica26 has been a challenging and beautiful experience in exploring the intricacies of the music industry and being a part of a huge community. Glad to be a part of the programme and hope to learn more! @cbaforafrica

I’ve led teams, collaborated with aritists, managers, producers, drafted and reviewed contracts and of course battled ego contests among diverse personalities. Indeed, the best way to learn is by doing. Thank you to the @cbaforafrica team #CBAForAfrica26

I'd also encourage anyone still contemplating the value of the program to see it as a groundbreaking opportunity and an important step into the music industry space #CBAForAfrica26

More importantly, the cohort’s interactive structure deepened my understanding of the industry’s dynamics, highlighting each entity’s role while emphasizing the value of building strong, meaningful relationships across the ecosystem #CBAForAfrica26

Pitch as many brands as you can. And also let them know that you have pitched other brands. Create a sense of competition among them. #CBAForAfrica26 @cbaforafrica

Every task we've been given goes beyond being just an assignment, it's a hands-on learning process where ideas are developed around real challenges affecting the industry, with the aim of creating practical and impactful solutions #CBAForAfrica26

@Acesoundz @cbaforafrica Talent and creativity isn't enoughhh. The "boring stuffs" is very need as well. Worddd!

@ugly_shay Wordd!. And the part of having to collaborate with people who have different views on simulated projects also prepares us for the complications and unease that will come with real life projects that will have even more stakes.

It's been an incredibly insightful couple of months so far at the Creative Business Academy for Africa. This cohort has expanded my understanding of the industry across different areas, especially the business side and its many moving parts #CBAForAfrica26 @cbaforafrica

One of the gems I have taken from #CBAForAfrica26 is that effective artist management transforms a talented artist into a sustainable and profitable business entity. This relies heavily on the Artist-Manager relationship, strategic foresight and adaptability. @cbaforafrica .

@Mugibson @cbaforafrica Word!

@thebjhx @cbaforafrica that’s for sure, even outside of music, evolution is an always on process. 😊

#CBAForAfrica26 has taught me that Artist development is not just important for at the early stages of an Artist's career but throughout. It is a continuous process of self-discovery, learning, unlearning, evolving, adapting and building. @cbaforafrica.

@Ayo_Oyedijo @cbaforafrica Yessssurrrrrrr. Knowing that has changed my life.

@thebjhx @cbaforafrica It's a process that never ends.

#CBAForAfrica26 is about to get heated up! #BraceYourselves my dear students!
