Speaking about her new role, Ajagbe stated: “My job at Symphonic involves taking care of the interests of existing Symphonic clients and partners in the West African region while onboarding fresh musical talents.  Symphonic is literally for everybody because the real aim is to make artists in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa feel cared for beyond just digital music distribution.

“The organization has been in business since 2006. So, this is a company that knows its onions when it comes to digital music distribution, sync licensing, rights management, funding and a host of other services.”

Although there are many digital music distribution services that serve the West African market, Symphonic sets itself apart in the areas of value and efficiency.

“Afrobeat is the new crude oil, and it is important to nurture the sources of this promising product. As part of our commitment to artists’ development, Symphonic West Africa plans to hold regular training, master classes, and other avenues for artists to learn valuable skill sets in their journey through the music business,” Ajagbe said.
