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).
