Make Music Lagos

In Nigeria, Make Music Lagos will celebrate its fifth year of celebration on June 21st, 2020. The events have grown to include over 100 offerings for the Lagos community. Lagos provides a variety of programming such as songwriting workshops, DJ programs, small ensembles, music business networking, and a main stage performance.

In Nigeria, the fourth Make Music Lagos featured over 100 events including a songwriting camp hosted by the Rtist Hub, the return of the popular Learn to DJ program, a music business conference, and the “New Music Marathon” giving artists the chance to have their music played on the radio for the first time.

After a pilot program in 2016, music retailer Showgear grew Make Music Lagos to over 130 performances around the city in 2018, including interactive Street Studios, “learn to DJ” classes, play-along drumming events, and a “main stage” finale with Nigerian superstars (which included King Sunny Adé in 2017).
