Entertainment lawyer and creative industry entrepreneur Foza has been confirmed as a panellist at NECLive 2026, bringing her experience in music management, intellectual property, publishing and entertainment law to the annual industry gathering.
Her journey began on the operational side of the music business as a road manager, including work on press engagements for Burna Boy’s debut album, L.I.F.E.. That early experience gave her a practical understanding of the industry before she moved into the legal and commercial structures that shape how creative work is owned, managed and monetised.
Foza is the Founder and Managing Partner of Zaeda Oracle Solicitors, an entertainment and legal advisory firm focused on rights ownership, contract negotiations and royalty administration. She also convenes the Global Creative Legal Summit and co-founded Greenlight Music Publishing.
Beyond her work in law and music publishing, she has chronicled her professional journey in the memoir So Far So Foza, offering insight into her experiences navigating the entertainment industry.
Her career bridges the creative and commercial sides of music, with a focus on helping artists and rights holders secure fair agreements and build sustainable revenue from their work.
At NECLive 2026, Foza brings a perspective on the legal frameworks, business relationships and intellectual property systems that underpin the creative economy.
