It’s a continental standstill… for now.

🎧 Radio Without a Record Deal? Here’s Your Backdoor In.


In a music industry where the odds are stacked against unsigned artists, one platform is quietly flipping the script.

Talent Showcase Africa (TSA) isn’t just a playlist—it’s a movement. A sonic revolution. A backdoor into the world of mainstream and online radio for artists who would otherwise never get a chance to be heard.

🎤 The Harsh Reality

If you're an upcoming artist in Africa, you already know the game is rigged:

  • Want radio play? You’ll need cash.

  • No budget? Good luck getting airtime.

  • No label behind you? Expect to be ignored.

Across the continent, radio stations—officially or unofficially—charge artists just to consider playing their music. If you’re unsigned, independent, or just getting started, this system can feel like an unscalable wall.

And even when you upload your music to streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or Audiomack, the numbers don’t move unless you already have a fanbase. You might have talent, but if no one knows your name, your music collects dust in the digital void.

🔊 TSA = The Shortcut to Real Exposure

This is where TSA comes in.
We don’t charge artists a cent to get heard. Not now. Not ever.

Our flagship show—the TSA Playlist, curated by African music experts and headed up by TSA’s Chief Radio Content Curator, Daxx Abara—airs every Friday at 21:00 CAT on Radio Energy and streams 24/7 via TSA Radio.

We’ve built bridges with both traditional and online radio stations across Africa and the diaspora, helping emerging artists get airplay without paywalls.

💥 We See You, We Hear You, and We Play You

TSA was created for artists just like you:

  • Artists with fire in their belly and no label in their corner

  • Artists who are streaming but invisible

  • Artists whose talent deserves airwaves, not algorithms

🎚️ Are You a DJ?

TSA also accepts DJ mixes from selectors across Africa and the diaspora who are passionate about championing fresh African sounds.

If you’re a DJ looking to build your brand as a tastemaker—as someone known for connecting underground talent to real radio exposure—this is your lane.

Your mix could be featured on TSA Radio and shared across our network, giving both you and the artists you spotlight a platform to shine.

🎯 Want In? Here’s How to Submit:

It’s simple:

🎵 Send your best, clean, radio-ready track (or DJ mix) to:
📩 playlist@nam-radio.com

Follow our Song Submission Guidelines.

No strings. No fees. Just a door swung open for talent that needs to be heard.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

We’re building a pipeline—from the bedroom studio to radio playlists, from underground dreams to real-world recognition. Because African music deserves to rise from every corner of the continent, not just the industry capitals.

So if you’re serious about your music…
If you’re tired of being overlooked…
If you’re ready to be heard…

TSA is your plug. Step through the door.
