Empawa Africa partners with iconic figures, who have in-depth industry knowledge, and experience in promoting talented artists to achieve their full potential and make it big!
Empawa Africa also equips these artists with the tools, knowledge, network and investment so they subsequently
become independent music entrepreneurs like J.Derobie.
J.Derobie, an emerging dancehall artiste, was discovered through Empawa Africa. He became the first Empawa artist to get one million YouTube views with his hit song Poverty.

J.Derobie is also set to own his own record label soon.
