Joseph Akakpor, popularly known as Pronto SZN, the visionary founder and Chief Executive Officer of SZN AFRICA and Group, has announced the launch of a transformative platform to spotlight Africa's most gifted musicians. The initiative aims to provide these talents with exposure to broader audiences—all at no cost.

Pronto SZN emphasized the platform’s commitment to high standards, saying, "Not every talented African artiste is eligible to receive support on this platform, however, there can be some exceptions to the rules for the rarest of truly gifted individuals."

The SZN Africa Artiste Development Programme is designed to foster authentic talent and offers comprehensive support across music marketing, content creation, and event planning. This structured pipeline ensures participants receive the tools they need to reach new heights within the music industry. However, to be eligible for the programme, applicants must meet the following key requirements:

• Artistes must have collaborated with SZN AFRICA in some capacity—be it through music marketing, event planning, or content creation.
• Applicants must follow SZN AFRICA on at least one social media platform.

****SZN AFRICA places a premium on quality. To maintain the integrity of the programme, submissions from artistes and their management teams must meet high production standards. Pronto SZN and the SZN AFRICA team are committed to ensuring that only exceptional talent makes it through the pipeline.

"Future icons, keep the entries coming," the statement from SZN AFRICA reads. "If you meet the requirements, you will be initiated into the programme. Each artiste can submit up to two entries, one of which c ould be selected and uploaded to the SZN AFRICA platform."

How to Submit Entries
Artistes and their representatives can send their submissions to sznafrica@outlook.com. With the right combination of talent and effort, emerging artistes stand a chance to join the league of future African music icons.
