Aspiring musicians will have an opportunity to showcase their talents alongside established music heavyweights at the conference. Multi-award winning musicians Uhuru will host the three-day conference at the Pretoria Showgrounds. Various prizes will be awarded to the top identified talent at the conference, including sound equipment, a three-year recording deal and a mentoring programme.
“Our aim for this conference is solely to educate the artist. This includes musicians, producers or DJs - and even talent managers - about the entertainment industry. We believe that an informed individual will make better personal and business decisions. We anticipate an even bigger turnout than last year with the support of the various partners we have this year,” stated Robert Sekowe.
