A press release states that the premier global event celebrating African and Afro-inspired music will take place from Feb. 24 to 25 and feature two high-profile panels with acclaimed songwriter, producer, and artist Sean Garrett. Discussions will explore how African musicians can navigate the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and strategies for more African artists to achieve global stardom.
For the AI-focused panel titled “The AI Takeover: Will African Producers & Artists Become Irrelevant or Unstoppable?”, Garret will join Vivek Ganesh (Business Development, ByteDance-TikTok), Seven Mosha (Artist Development Manager, Sony Music EA), and Raj Kulasingam (Senior Counsel, Dentons) to discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming the music industry and its influence on African talent.
In the second panel, Garrett will join industry leaders, including Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz, Kudjo Sogadzi (President, Mediaco Holding Inc.), Sean Okeye (Brand & Talent Manager, Rema), and Adam Tiran (COO, Africon) for a discussion on strategies to elevate African artists to global recognition.
Each panel and activity aligns with the TRACE Awards & Summit’s mission to celebrate African and Afro-inspired music and culture, uniting artists, industry leaders, and innovators to explore the evolution of music and its global influence.
