The energy in the room was electric. From young, aspiring musicians to seasoned professionals, the audience came ready to learn, ask questions, and connect. Attendees actively participated in discussions, jotting down notes, engaging in Q&A sessions, and soaking up invaluable insights from industry experts. The diverse turnout highlighted the growing hunger for knowledge within Zimbabwe’s creative community.
Expert Insights and Industry Knowledge
Sheer Publishing representatives and guest speakers delivered dynamic presentations covering crucial topics such as rights management, licensing, and the intricacies of music publishing. One of the standout sessions was led by Kefiloe, who broke down the complexities of music rights and revenue streams with precision and clarity.
Interactive Sessions and Real-World Applications
The event wasn’t just about lectures—it was about real-world application. Attendees had the opportunity to ask direct questions, share their personal experiences, and gain clarity on the often-misunderstood aspects of the music business. Keynote speakers emphasised the importance of protecting one’s work, securing fair compensation, and leveraging publishing rights for long-term sustainability in the industry.
A Growing Movement for Music Creatives
Music Connects Africa’s mission aligns perfectly with Sheer Publishing’s vision: to empower African artists with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive on a global stage. This event in Zimbabwe was a significant step in that journey, reinforcing the idea that education and collaboration are key drivers of success in the modern music industry.
As Sheer Publishing continues to expand its reach, we look forward to hosting more workshops, discussions, and networking opportunities across the continent. If this event was any indication, the future of African music publishing is in incredibly capable hands.
