About Us

We’ve leveraged technology to build a platform that collects music data through audio fingerprinting and allows artists and their labels to have access to detailed reports on their music performance on radio. This will serve as a prerequisite to compliance from broadcast media in remitting license fees to CMOs/PROs and effective scientific distribution thereafter.. We further build on this data to create fan facing services like music charts,a blog, song recognition and lyrics services.

Our Story

We are Africans and great lovers of music with entrepreneurial spirits. We are deeply affected by the manner in which music and the arts in general are neglected by governments in Africa. This neglect has resulted in poor policy development and enforcement. We came together to offer a solution that can inform policy change and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a tech start up that has developed a Saas (Software as a service) to monitor music’s performance on radio with detailed insight on the frequency of plays and the specific radio station through a weekly/monthly report once you choose a subscription.

For our Beta program, we have individual artist accounts at no cost, where the artist teams can also get limited access. We will however develop subscription plans for Labels, Publishers, Advertisers and Artists when we roll out the app commercially.

Our system can be audited on request to ensure that we are monitoring live links on the requested stations with short recordings backed up to our database.

We are currently developing our editorial arm ‘Africabeat Media’ and we are in search of competent freelance writers with a niche in music business trends and news. Any viable candidates can reach out to media@africabeat.app
For affiliate marketing discussions with entertainment websites and other music business apps please reach out to the CMO olooarthur@africabeat.app

The data collected from monitoring radio will be aggregated to develop charts as a measure of impact for music. We work with some of the major labels to activate promo campaigns in Africa for international releases. A&R is important for us to connect artists from across the continent and make great music.
