As African
Music hits it all time high, with afro-pop artist Wizkid hit collaboration with
#1 Hip Hop artist Drake being played all over the world, Liberian Music
Industry sits in a perfect spot. Liberia is the only country on the continent
of Africa with direct ties to the United States, this helps Liberian artists to
easily articulate their music to the world at large. Liberian music is only
lagging behind its fellow West African Country Nigerian because the country is
over coming the years of civil war. Liberia
Music Magazine serves as a Bi Annual publication that will introduce and
promote Liberian Music to a global audience.
Liberia Music Magazine was created from the desire to
reach out and help so many young Liberian creative people who have lofty dreams
of becoming music superstars. Unfortunately, we observed that a lot of them
fall under the pressure of trying to break into the industry and some get
discouraged by the lack of acceptance and immediate success they hoped for, and
so, let their dreams die.
Some in
their desperation to be famous get involved in all sorts of shoddy arrangements
without proper knowledge of how the industry works, and as a result, they get
swindled and loose all faith.
Liberia
Music Magazine will take a step further to ensure that more artists are given
the opportunity to learn first-hand from industry heads because no man is an
island or a fountain of knowledge all by himself.
The
publication will provide an avenue where these upcoming artists will meet and
get important information from WORDWIDE ARTIST MANAGERS, PRODUCERS, LABEL OWNERS,
DJS, RADIO PRESENTERS, PUBLICISTS and other industry stake-holders.
The Maiden Edition of Liberia Music Magazine is schedule for Dec/Jan 16-17.
