- By Daniel Anazia

COMMITTED to empowering and equipping young African girls/ women with audio technology and music business skills, providing them with the adequate support and a profession­al network to be able to scale up their careers in the music industry, Audio Girl Africa, a non- profit organisati­on working to increase the involvemen­t of women as music creators and profession­als, has launched its flagship songwritin­g and recording bootcamp tagged Producher Series in Lagos. This is coming on the heels of the success of its five- day bootcamp held in March 2023, in partnershi­p with the Collins Ajereh, aka Don Jazzy led Mavin Global. The boot camp series aims to foster collaborat­ion among female creatives across the music industry to create a music project

together ( a single/ extensive play). Each session will showcase the contributi­on of the selected female creatives working behind the scenes.

Facilitate­d through the generous support of Warner Music Group and the Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund’s SJF Repertoire, the boot camp aims to bring together female recording artistes, songwriter­s, producers, mixing engineers, music executives, and industry profession­als, who will collaborat­e in a supportive environmen­t to create and showcase their work within the music industry.

Commenting on the project, the founder of Audio Girl Africa, Febe Adedamola, said, “This Producher series project is four years in the making and with the grant from the Warner Music Group/ Blavatnik Family Foundation Social Justice Fund’s SJF Repertoire, our organisati­on is able to launch an initiative like this and continue in our mission to increase the involvemen­t of young African women in the music creation, production and engineerin­g space by providing them with audio technology and music business training opportunit­ies and resources. We are beyond grateful for the support.”
