Life is a creation of experiences; everyday we amass them,
experience them and relive them through success or failure.
Life is the sum totals of experiences‌ why not make them beautiful.
Beauty is not about the superficial;
it’s about the depth of connectedness,
raw emotion and triumph over adversity. Choose to live a beautiful life even through ugly situations, choose to live beautifully
even through horrendous obstacles, choose to live holistically and create your own beauty.
So we dragged the beautiful Hope Masike out to a run down but vintage spot for an awesome cover shoot. She was so professional, and even in the cold she was quite classy and an absolute pleasure to work with. Much thanks to our photographer Tatenda Gomo, our make up artist Tracey Ushe, and to the owners of the location and again, most importantly this edition’s star Hope Masike.

SHA NAN EWS THE PROBLEM WITH SYRIA.
On his first visit to his father’s homeland, Kenya, Obama seemed impressed with the strides the African continent has made, further stating “Africa is on the Move”. Obama was co-hosting a summit on global entrepreneurship with Uhuru Kenyatta in Nairobi. He did however talk about Kenya and same sex marriages on which President Kenyatta responded by saying that this was a non issue for Kenyans at the moment as they were dealing with more life threatening issues.
Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian disaster of our time. The number of innocent civilians suffering is staggering (over 11 million people have been displaced). Anti-government demonstrations began in March of 2011, as part of the Arab Spring. But the peaceful protests quickly escalated after the government’s violent crackdown, and rebels started fighting back against the regime. More than four years later, the full blown civil war has claimed over 220 000 lives, half of which are believed to be civilians.

So, it’s oficcial. Trevor is the new Jon Stewart. More like he’s the brand new host of the top rated American show The Daily Show, and we bet he feels good. Most Americans might not know him yet but, almost all of Africa does. And soon, they will too. Recently he’s been doing the press rounds and his first show aired late September and even exceeded local and international expectations. Needless to say, we at SHANA are mighty proud of our talented export. Keep it up Trevor.

the tech review.
back to basics with new technologies.
Tactile Tablets (Senseg)
iPAD USB Typewriter Another fantastic way to introduce thw grandparetnsto the digital era, the USB keyboards by Jack Zylkin also offer a touch of class for your own Qwerty shenanigans. Built from genuine antique typewriters, theres no better way to bring back the clack of yester year. Connect one of these beasts via USB to your PC, Mac or iPad instantly adding credibility and awesomness to your writer’s den.
Unless you smother it in marmalade, the screen of your tablet always feels the same when you touch it. Senseg’s haptic-style tech will change that. It uses electrical charges to create different feelings, textures and edges whenever you caress it-so for example, the next version of Algoriddim’s Djay app could actually feel like spinning vinyl.

#GIRLBOSS by SOPHIA AMORUSO She was a 22 year old college drop out, job hopping and basically surviving on dumpster food, she could have just been another statistic but she’s not that type of gal. Sophia Amoruso started her business Nasty Gal selling vintage threads, she’s sold over $100 million in clothing and the Pop-sugar website states that she has over “350 plus employees, and no formal tertiary education to speak of, it’s fair to say that Sophia is a fashion success story — and an anomaly”. She’s out the box and this book isn’t a usual Hard Review type of book, your mum may not understand it but you definitely will and you might find it slightly hilarious too. Naty Gal.com is a fashion store for the non-conventional girl with lace crop tops and tiny boy shorts she’s cemented herself with her target audience but there’s definitely something to be learned from her business acumen and her fearlessness. #GirlBoss, $30.80, Booktopia

MO’ META BLUES by QUESTLOVE & BEN GREENMAN Ahmir Khalib Thompson aka Mo’ Meta Blues is an American drummer, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, music journalist, and record producer. Questlove is also more famously known as the amazing drummer from the band Roots with his famous trade mark comb and afro. He writes about his own journey into music and gives a general overiew of his philosophy on music. “He digs deep into the album cuts of his life and unearths some pivotal moments in black art, hip hop, and pop culture.” He talks up growing up in the vibrant streets of West Philly and his musical heritage as the son of a musician of the early nineties a doop-woop singer and opens his heart to what he thinks about the state of music. “Mo’ Meta Blues also has some (many) random (or not) musings about the state of hip hop, the state of music criticism, the state of statements, as well as a plethora of run-ins with celebrities, idols, and fellow artists, from Stevie Wonder to KISS to D’Angelo to Jay-Z to Dave Chappelle to...you ever seen Prince rollerskate?!?” Yup he’s that guy in music. available at www.amazon.com

the unstoppable Serena Williams
Serena Williams
Serena Williams has transitioned from a tennis black to a legend, in particular for the black community.
Her story can only be described as inspirational if not fairytale like. Born in September 26, 1981, she grew up in a family of five in Michigan and later to moved to Compton, where she was home schooled by her parents, who subsequently were also her first and most dominant tennis coaches through out her life. Serena started playing tennis at an early age as their father had dreams of her and sister Venus becoming tennis champions’ as he loved the game of tennis. Serena started off her formative years training at… She later left the academy and began competing in junior tennis leagues. Her father Richard Williams later pulled both her and Venus out of these competitions due to the racial discrimination they suffered at the hands of some parents and athletes. Her first major competition was in 1995 at the age of to counteract the forthcoming changes to age-eligibility rules, at the Bell Challenge. She lost in the first round of qualifying to Anne Miller, winning just two games Which goes to show you that it’s not how you start that
matters but how you finish, currently she is ranked as world number 1 and has been ranked number 1 in singles on 6 separate occasions, becoming number 1 for the first time in 2002. Williams became third on the all time List of WTA number 1 ranked players, surpassing Chris Evert, by spending 261 weeks overall as the WTA ranked #1. She is the reigning champion of the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, WTA Tour Championships and Olympic women’s singles and doubles. She also holds the most major singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles combined in regard to active players, of both sexes. Serena has a whooping record of 36 major titles, which puts her fifth on the all-time list and second in the open era with: 21 in singles, 13 in women’s doubles, and two in mixed doubles. She is the most recent player, of both sexes, to have held all four major singles titles simultaneously (2002–03 and 2014–15), the fifth woman ever to do this! (Just mentally clap for this) and is only the third player, to achieve this record twice after Rod Laver and Steffi Graf. She is also the most recent player, together with her sister Venus Williams, to have held all four Grand Slam women’s doubles titles simultaneously (2009–10). She has a total of 21 Grand Slam singles titles and is third on the all-time list behind Margaret Court who has 24 and Steffi Graf who has 22, and is second in the

Not one to be limited by oh say being the number 1 tennis player in the world she’s also launched a signature
of the four Grand Slam tournaments and is also the only tennis player to have won 10 Grand Slam singles titles in two separate decades. She has won an all-time record of 12 Grand Slam singles titles on hard-court. Williams holds the Open Era record for most titles at the Australian Open, 6 times, and shares the record for most titles at the US Open with Chris Evert. She’s won 13 Grand Slam doubles titles with her sister Venus and the pair are still unbeaten in Grand Slam tournament finals. Williams is also a five-time winner of the WTA Tour Championships. Just when you thought she’d done enough, she’s also won four Olympic gold medals, one in women’s singles and three in women’s doubles, an all-time record shared with her sister Venus Williams.
collection of handbags and jewelry called ‘Signature Statement’ but she became a certified nail technician in preparation for her upcoming nail collection with a company called ‘HairTech’ in 2010.
Although she has won so much in her life, Serena has also suffered personal loss, with murder of her sister Yetunde who’s murderer was later found and charged with voluntary Man-slaughter. She has definitely been through a lot her 34 years and becoming a role model for many around the world and is not only a tennis star but an entrepreneur and entertainer, having acted in numerous movies and series she has also tried her hand at designing and has a line with Nike worth US$40 million and also has her own line called “Aneres”, which is her first name spelled backward.
10
To top it all off in 2015, she became the first black female athlete to have a picture by herself on the cover of Vogue, which she did for the April 2015 issue and is also reportedly dating rap super star Drake. Did we mention she also speaks French, Spanish and Italian and once did a whole press conference in France in French! Well, (insert a long pause there) after this article we at SHANA had a day or two to introspect on our lives. We hope she’s challenged you to do the same and be great!

HOPEMAS THE
33
SIKE INTERVIEW
Real music, driven by a good engine never dies. Plus, I just got a fresh appreciation of the power of our thoughts/dreams/fantasies. Thoughts are indeed things. One day during HIFA I bumped into Salif Keita in an elevator at Crown Plaza. I couldn’t talk to him as back then I knew no French. So I only dreamed of the possibilities. I wanted to sit down with him and talk about his songs, how he did his albums and so forth. Little did i know ....
You travel a lot, what can the Arts industry in Zimbabwe learn from the European Arts industry and vice versa?
Recently, we caught up Hope Masike, the talented songstress opened up to SHANA about We can both learn that the grass can be green what motivates her and keeps her sound fresh. anywhere. I meet struggling European musicians, and here
Why do you get up every morning? To do what God put me on earth to do, and if one particular morning I am confused about ‘my purpose (it happens) I get up to find it’.
And what’s a ‘normal’ day like in the life of ‘Hope Masike’ ?
at home there are musicians who have never set foot in Europe but enjoy every success any musician dreams of. Having said that, we have a lot to offer the world, especially when it comes to rhythm and soul, just as much as we have lots to learn from them too, like setting up structures that hold an industry and documenting things.
What would you say is the biggest drawback and trump card for Zimbabwean artists?
They vary so much. For instance, days on tour are totally different from other days. Oh, how to answer Under-exposure. Some artists in other countries that... I guess the best way to reply that is to tell you enjoy privileges of growing up watching real good live about my life these days. I wake up, do my morning concerts, surrounded by global music marketing structures stuff usually with my music for the moment playlist, right in their backyards, working for big festivals or big international awards like Grammys. off to school from 8 to 4/5 - can you believe it!! then in the evening I got back home, or meet a friend Seemingly small things like that are great because as one for drinks and/or supper, or go to some fun arty grows, they are aware of the possibilities, and when they event, or a business meeting. Then I come back home and sleep. Next day is pretty much the same. dream, they dream as such. Many of us had to learn as we practised. You’ve sung along greats like Salif Keita
what was that experience like for you? What did you learn or notice that stood out the most?
34
When you are not aware of what’s possible, you cannot even dream about it and have aspirations to do with it. It’s like spending months working on ‘your discovery’ of a
wheel, only to come out of the bush one day to find a whole truck pass you by with sixteen of those wheels. We need to research ten times as much as musicians in other parts of the world would, us being countries of the south.
What’s been your most challenging performance and aspect of your career? Most challenging performance so far was the Independence gala last year. Chaunga cheku gala chaindityisa hangu. But once we did the hardcore traditional song ‘Hondo/Todzungaira’ we won their hearts and earned the license to then do my songs. It was a 20 minutes of my life well spent. Unforgettable! Challenging aspect of my career was getting to the very liberating point where I didn’t care to be accepted by any particular social class (ghetto yuts or up-market). I was going to just do me and ignore those who thought I was a ‘musalad’ and those who, on the other hand thought I lacked class. The best thing I ever decided for me and music was that I was going to do me, man up, eliminate all excuses (and even reasons for that matter) and just produce results. Getting there was a challenge.
Are there any performances you’ve
declined and please share why? When a promoter is not being honest and/or clear, I decided it’s wise to save my energy, go home and practice my music, write a song or watch Sabhuku varazipi.
Who inspires you professionally and personally and why? There is a long list here. I have always been inspired by world music as I fell in love with it at a very young age. So the first age world music gurus such as Salif Keita, Youssou N’dor and Ishmeal Lo HAVE ALWAYS INSPIRED ME, AND STILL DO. Still on that wave, Angelique Kidjo’s longevity inspires me also. I started knowing her when I was young and she was doing exceedingly well then. She still is! Kinda like Oliver Mtukudzi also; 50 chakuti albums later and he is still going. I am inspired by Dobet Gnahore’ love for her roots and tradition. Chiwoniso, Mbuya Stella and most mbira gurus fall in this zone. They wear their heritage so proudly and loudly.
35
I am inspired by Cynthia Mare, Tariro neGitare, Selmor Mtukudzi and Ammara Brown. I respect their hustle. You think the economy isn’t doing great! Watch those ladies and learn how to hustle. My parents inspire me also. As I grow older I appreciate my father more. He is one of the most upright, hardworking, intelligent, smart and clean man I know.
How important is your brand as an artist? It’s so important I avoid brand contamination whenever I can. However, much as it is important, it certainly comes after many things such my art, my calling.
At home you are just ‘Hope’ how did your family and friends adjust over time to your growing fame, travel schedule and the media? As you said, I am just Hope. Maybe when I am soooooo big I can’t breath the same air everyone else is breathing then it will be a challenge for my family and friends. So far, ‘we good’.
Where do you see yourself in the next five (5) years? I see myself being most certainly and inimitably one of the finest, most humane and most celebrated musicians to emerge from this earth, still doing music that is first food for the soul, traveling all over this earth sharing my calling, and also promoting other younger artists. Hopefully with a husband who will be loving me to the ends of all worlds and making it soooo, very, extremely easy for me to submit, and children of my own, with a plot of tsvubvu and mazhanje (both echirungu neeChishona), maybe a pack of dogs from Jack Russels to bulldogs, just one cat, a parrot, etcetera etcetera
36
Any career advice for creatives in Africa? We are sitting on a gold mine! Lets shape our African story and that won’t happen through excuses, crying about what happened in the past, and not taking care of all the wonderful heritage that was left in our custody. Life in now. No other chance shall come. How about we all decide our dreams shall come true come what may, and we shall be the best at what we do- legally so!
How do you handle the business side of creativity? I learn everyday. I have advisers. Around me, I try to have a tribe of people with the correct vibe. Until i sign up with a label or get my dream management team, these people help out as and when they can.

the highlight reel
movies we’ve watched lately
MINIONS
We were so looking for ward to this movie (please don’t judge us, you secretly like the minions too) after the minions antics in both the ‘D espicable Me’ movies we thought this would be a non-stop barrel of laughs. We were wrong and we’ll be the first to admit that it just didn’t live up to the hype. First of all the stor y line could have been stronger we know they supposedly make them for kids but we watch them too and they could have done better. Guess it just wasn’t as funny as we thought it would be.
SELMA
“In early 1 965, Mar tin Luther King Jr.’s Southern C hristian Leadership C onferenc e (SC LC) made S elma, Alabama, the focus of its effor ts to register black voters in the South. That March, protesters attempting to march from S elma to the state capital of Montgomer y were met with violent resistance by state and local authorities. As the world watched, the protesters (under the protection of federalized National Guard troops) finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomer y. The historic march, and King’s par ticipation in it, greatly helped raise awareness of the difficulty faced by black voters in the South, and the need for a Voting Rights Act, passed later that year” [histor y.com]

E N T E RTA I N M E N T TREVOR NOAH
So the pandemonium has come and gone and Trevor has made us very proud… Not on was Tuesday the debut of Trevor Noah on the Daily Show but it was the first time ever it was hosted by an African. The African continent celebrated, while the American one tried to figure out who Trevor was and dig up his old Twitter past (yup these things will come back to bite you hey). The first night of his show saw more than 3.7million viewers according to Comedy Central and his “second night hosting The Daily Show clocked a Live+Same Day audience of 1.231 million viewers in the show’s 11 PM ET Comedy Central time slot last night.” According to Comedy Central. The first show seemed a bit shaking and looking the number of people watching we can guess why, but he definitely looked more relaxed in his second. Well SHANA wants to congratulate Trevor and this great African coup (we’re slowly taking over the world) make us proud-er.

decor tips for home photography...
01
02
So you want to start doing photography at home?
Here are some handy tips and tricks to do make a mini studio happen at a fraction of the price, without ruining your end product...
1. The Walls... First off, what colour are your walls? Colours that are too dull or too bright tend to shift focus from the subject and you won’t want that, unless of course, you’re just taking pictures of walls... Most people’s walls are cream so at least they’re light but if you have the option try out white, especially in the area you shoot.
2. Space... Second thing to note: how much space do you have? If you don’t have too much space the make sure your area is clean and all your props can fit in your space and your camera angle without looking too crowded unless that’s the look you’re going for. We just briefly touched on it but knowing your props before hand is important, the new trend is shooting on white as it’s clean, if you don’t have anything white try getting white material or painting a white box to create that effect for very cheap using some leftover paint you might, maybe even borrow from the neighbours, or save up some change and get painting.
41

3. Lighting... Third on our list is lighting. We can’t stress this enough.. so we won’t.. Get the right lighting for the space in your room, soft boxes are great to give of a glossy or professional look but for the rest of us who may not be able to make or buy one, natural light, i.e the light from the sun outside by your window is great. Home made reflectors are also pretty effective. Use mirrors and white cloths to control and redirect the light to shine where and how you want it.
4. and Sensible Decor. Lastly, before you jump into taking a hundred pictures... make sure your deco makes sense for the look, feel and tone you’re trying to set. So... plan, plan and plan some more before shooting. If you’re caught in the moment of a great shot go with it but also remember editing is your friend, though that might not save a shoot with unsensible decor and misplaced compositions.

FIVE
SUPER FOODS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
Chia Seeds Chia seeds are a complete protein rich in fibre, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorous and manganese. A single tablespoon contains up to five grams of fibre. When added to your smoothie, oats or juice, it will keep you regular all day. Chia seeds are rich in omega 3 and 6, vitamin C, and antixoidants. They absorb liquid and help to boost both digestive and immune systems by moving your body’s toxins to the bowels.
Raw Organic Cacao We’re talking about real raw, original organic cacao. It comes in bean from (which is really bitter) or in a powder and is rich in antioxidants, magnesium, iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, copper, vitamin C, phosphorous and more. It contains tryptophan, a mood enhancer crucial in the production of serotonin, which squashes anxiety. It’s also full of energy and great for weight loss; add it ro smoothies, cereal or yoghurt.
43
Spirulina A blue-green algae, spirulina thrives in alkaline lakes. It contains over 60 percent of complete protein and is rich in chlorophyll, iron, antioxidants, beta-carotene and omega-3 and 6. Spirulina aids the body’s absorption of nutrients, so it is great if you have digestive issues. Take it in tablet form or use about 3-6 grams of spirulina powder in juices or smoothies, varying the amount per your diet, energy and activity levels.
Hemp Seeds & Oil Hemp seeds and oils are great to boost your immune system, balance essential fatty acids and decrease bodily inflammation. It is rich in minerals and omega-3, 6 and 9. Hemp seed is a rare complete protein, packed with energy and enzymes. Add the seeds to your oats or cereals, fruits or in any of your smoothies or salads. The oil can be dashed over salads or even made into marinade to be used to add falvour to meat and poultry dishes.
Coconut
(Water, Oil & Butter)
Coconut is rich in potassium, ideal for rehydration with powerful antiviral properties. The liquid in the coconut contains kinetin, keeping it ‘ypoung’ despite sun exposure. Kinetin has the same effect on your body and helps keep cells young. Coconut oil and butter contains saturated fat that’s perfect for cooking as it remains stable after heating because of this, using coconut oil for cooking is much safer and healthier than other oils.

the music
THERE’S NO BUSINESS LIKE
SHOW BUSINESS! The music business has changed from 20 years ago, it’s not even the same as it was just 10 years ago. The rate at which it’s actually changing is crazy, not only can you produce your own music on something as mundane as a laptop but, you can actually control and run your musical empire from it. Gone are the days where ever yone wanted to be signed by a big record (sometimes at the expense of their future), now many young ar tists prefer to be independent and work with a close community of friends or associates to help them run their music careers. A good example of this is Cash Money star ted by Birdman and Slim who signed stars like Little Wayne, Young Thug and is the stable Young Money under that has ar tists like Drake, Nicki Mina j and more. They signed one of the few deals that allowed them to share profits with a ma jor record label fifty-fifty. They realized that the record label needed them and since they’d been making money off records already and were running a succ essful enterprise the record label caved and agreed to the deal, a first for most ar tists or record labels, yet alone Hip Hop ar tists at the time. So what does one need to know from obser ving the current trends in music and examples like Cash Money?
45
RECORD LABELS Don’t be afraid to shop around for a Music Label that you connect with and that offers you a good to fair deal. You are the artist and although you need help managing yourself technology has made it easier. Also do your research and have realistic expectations on what a record label will and won’t do for your career. Read through your contacts, Google contracts on the Internet, contact a lawyer, know what you’re getting your self into. It’s also good to know how much your actually making after expenses so have a general idea what you might be paying for with our advance cheque (if you agree to that).
MANAGERS Managers can be your best or worst element as a musician, sometimes you just don’t have the time or ability to balance all the revolving elements around you and that’s were a great management team comes in. You have to trust your management if you don’t it won’t work, cause they sometimes represent you in your absence and deal more on the business side of your career, some say management is the gateway to your money, so if you care about your money care about your management. Do they have your best interests at heart, if they are not qualified or experienced they need to at least be a super quick learners and do they pay attention to detail? All these elements are important when choosing management to represent you.
YOUR MUSIC Who are you and what is your music about? Sometimes the record label will push what works right now on radio, but like any other career that needs to stand the test of people time it needs to be authentic. People get a feeling about music and they can tell when it’s not real or authentic (we’re not saying they won’t listen to it at all) and after a while they’ll get bored and so will you. It might take you some time to find what you really want to sing about but if it’s a genuine/authentic journey your fans will grow with and you’ll gain others when you truly find your voice.
THE BUSINESS OF PERSONAL BRANDS You are the business! Your music, your voice, your ability to play an instrument, your stage performance, your dress code, your life story, your social media platforms and activities, your dream, it’s all apart of the business. You are the business so plan what you want to be perceived as and how you with carry this message in every aspect of your brand. Your management can also come in at this point to assist you craft a good brand image that aligns with the idea you’re trying to sell. But remember people are buying or investing in the idea and brand you’ve sold them so if you veer off your brand too much, you might confuse them and lose them as that would not be the product they signed up to buy.
MAKE EXTRA MONEY / MONEY ON THE SIDE Ok, so you haven’t made it yet but you’ve been on the grind, why not get extra cash supporting an already established artist. For starters you’ll learn the business from them and their team and some unspoken rules of the game while making some extra change. You’ll also be able to connect to other musicians as they may have access to people you don’t. Keep your eyes open, don’t let a little star dust blind you and keep your ear to the ground always be prepared to work harder, cause remember for you there’s a bigger picture and this is just a stepping stone you could become the star at any moment and you’ll need those lessons you just learned.
LEARN FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES Learn from every experience and always be prepared with a business card, or a webpage, or social media site where people can find out more about you. There’s only so much you can say sometimes, but if you have a place with your portfolio it can do the talking for you later. So go to industry relevant events and talk to people, this is not the time to take un-neccessary selfies but to analyse the un-said hierarchy of the music industry. Study the faces of journalists, record Execs, promoters, publicists, etc, be tactical when approaching them don’t just ask for help, offer your help or better yet a solution to a problem they are facing. Sometimes just mingle but listen to what they’re saying. Watch their body language to learn who’s important in the food chain. Read their interviews and have something relevant and interesting to say if a discussion starts. But also have strategic partnerships, if you’re a vocalists have a friend maybe who’s a Dj or a promoter or part of a band when you need help they’ll assist you and vice versa and you can meet more people and connect each other as a group.

The world of social media has never been as immersive as it is now. Millenials have more contact with people through social media than actual face to face interaction, so if you’re going to reach out to them through music or the arts you need to be where they are. Here are a few ideas of how to get your music (or just yourself and your cause) out to the new generation of consumers:
1. EMAIL USERNAMES This may be the most obvious tip ever but have an email address and to be more concise have a business like email address. Millenials and generations X’s are definitely more informal than the baby boomer generations but we’d still like to see a level of seriousness cause we’re investing time into your brand we’d hate to be embarrassed online after we find out that we were publicly supporting you and all you could come up with is ‘sexyback1994@hotmail’ like really, put some effort into it. Plus a lot of young industry leaders have put people they’d like to connect you with, as this is the age of instant connections and when need to connect with our boss and need a email address in a twitter second we really can’t be giving crazy email addresses, like I said ‘image’ is everything so be cautious with it, even if it’s not your own.
2. GET ON YOUTUBE So Justin Bieber and so many other super stars have been discovered on Youtube, cause guess what numbers don’t lie. If your music is good people will want to watch it then they’ll want to share it and Youtube makes it so easy for people to have a consistent stream of your music, to comment and give you pointers and to share your video onto other social media. Youtube is global so it gives you access to the whole world as an audience.
47
3. GET ON SOUNDCLOUD Sound cloud is a great platform for people to download snippets of your music. People like gifts and free things so sound-cloud is perfect to attract more listeners. It can also act as platform to show case your talent to other artists and producers so, make sure you have your best music on sound-cloud and nothing you wouldn’t want to be played in front of an important stakeholder.
4. POST CLIPS ON WHATSAPP Whatsapp is one of the best platforms for music. Again its free but it’s so efficient and easy to use that people will find it easier to spread your message especially since Africa has a high smart phone penetration number already but not as many people have access to the internet. You can also have link on your whatsapp video that directs those who can get on the internet to your other platforms.
5. MONETISE YOUR ONLINE MUSIC Sell your music online you can sell your music on iTunes, Google play store and now on Shopify. Signing up for all these platforms is free although they do charge you for certain services on them. Also if you get a certain number of views on your Youtube account, Youtube will start paying you. Also advertise on every platform that doesn’t allow you actually sell. You can budget $5 a week or a day for Facebook and Twitter or recently available adverts on Instagram. You are an artist but also you are are a business so sell, sell, sell and if all else fails, go back to the gold old fashioned way of selling. Approach retailers and ask if they could sell your product or sell one on one, but just sell.
