If you are an artiste manager; a record producer; or a record label executive; then you won’t have to look further than Talent Showcase Africa Playlist to find the very best emerging talents from across the African continent, where top-quality often undiscovered jams are curated by professional African music experts and showcased on global radio stations.
For those of you who’ve been following the Talent Showcase Africa Playlist since its inception a year and a half ago, you will have noticed how passionate we are about promoting emerging African artists and their incredibly vibrant music.
What to Expect On the Show
We have special guest appearances from independent artists from the USA & the UK, who have submitted their music to be featured on the Talent Showcase Africa Playlist.
After the career Stacey Jackson has had, the status of an icon comes naturally to mind. Her talent for revising the classic ‘80s sound into a contemporary hit is a trademark that puts her name at the forefront of the dance music scene. On July 7th, Stacey Jackson brought back the groove with her new uplifting release Get Together.
Eloise Viola is a fiercely independent artist making waves on DSP’s, radio, and in the live space. Her self-love pop dance anthems and socials promote self-confidence, positive self-talk, and resilient mental health. ELECTRICITY is her latest self-love anthem, a song about learning to love yourself before you can love someone else. Eloise has earned over 13 MILLION STREAMS on Spotify, 110k monthly listeners, and support tours in the UK and Europe with ANASTACIA and an array of other high-profile artists. But it’s not just her electrifying voice, her versatile songwriting ability has led to invitations to write with a range of top writers in Los Angeles and Nashville, earning her a publishing deal: an achievement that contributes to her ambition to remain an independent artist.
