A variety of topics will be discussed on the day, which include music production, brand development, and music licensing.
“I have been getting enquiries from young people asking me about the music industry.
“So, I felt that together with the organisation and a group of my friends, we should organise an event that will not only be educational but fun as well.
“These past two years living with Covid-19, it is a must that we put away our guitars, keyboards, microphones and have a conversation about the issues affecting us as artists,” explained Mfene.

He added that their goal is to share knowledge with young people.
“In commemorating youth month, it is our responsibility as a community-based organisation is to give back to young people.
“The panel has a lot of experience on the ins and outs concerning the industry.
“People want to know how to get radio airplay, grow their brands, get their music out there and how to get featured in newspapers.
“This platform will cater to those needs as we will be breaking down the necessary tools to break into the industry,” he added.
They are inviting anyone with an interest in learning about the music industry, whether experienced or not.
The event is free of charge and will run from 15:00 until 17:00.
