Aristokrat Group, Boomplay opens up mentorship workshop for talents
In a bid to structure, reposition and repurpose the backbone of the music industry to ensure quality music delivery, creative direction, and encourage growth sustainability, Aristokrat Group, famous for developing award-winning and globally recognized artistes and producers like Burna Boy, Leriq and Kel P has launched the open house series in partnership with Africa’s #1 music streaming service Boomplay.
The ‘Open House Series’ is a mentorship program set up to empower, mentor, and realign Nigerian talents, help them understand how the music business runs and how to earn from it. The program is for producers and artistes who want to hone their craft and take it to the next level, grow musically and deliver high-quality music.
Speaking on the partnership, the Chief executive officer (CEO) of Aristokrat Group, Piriye Isokrai said “Last year I and the Aristokrat team decided to open our doors and lend a helping hand to a few upcoming artists, producers, and music business professionals. It was truly an enlightening experience and we knew we had to find a way to do more.”
Isokrai explained that with the Open House series which will run through an intense four-month period starting on August 9, 2021, Aristokrat Group in conjunction with Boomplay opens its doors to various learning opportunities including extensive music business courses on songwriting, production, performance, touring, marketing, social media, style, and brand identity all in three compelling stages for participants. The first stage will kick off with selected participants enrolled in various mentorship sessions including the music business Africa course taught by Godwin Tom. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in one on one chats with industry mentors in sessions that will help the selected participants determine the next steps in their careers and aid their creative growth.

Finalists stand to benefit from a photoshoot for promotional purposes, music distribution, and promotion through the top streaming app and major sponsors: Boomplay and career consultation services.
