After conducting successful sessions around the globe, organisers of the Red Bull Music Academy have decided to hold this year’s event in Lagos on July 14 and 15.
The programme promised to be a weekend of lectures, workshops and collaborations from the music community.
According to the brains behind the academy, the recognised global music institution is committed to fostering creativity in music. The world traveling series of music workshops and festivals offers an exciting platform for those who want to make a difference in today’s musical scene.
The weekend will begin with introductory sessions by Nigeria’s own RBMA Alumni, DjKlem and Kraftmatiks, as well as Kenya’s Blinky Bill (formerly of Just A Band), who will shed light on what the academy stands for and the role it plays in bringing out promising music talent from all corners of the world into the limelight.
It was also revealed that the academy was intended “for anyone with a passion for music; whether one is a producer, vocalist, instrumentalist, beat-maker, engineer, songwriter or DJ, has a chance at being selected.”
Award-winning singer song-writer Nneka and Blinky Bill are billed to delivered lectures on their success stories, to be hosted by industry shakers EKITI and Osagie Alonge.
