Now Muzik, in partnership with Netng, is hosting a virtual music roundtable to celebrate legendary talent manager and creative entrepreneur Efe Omorogbe who turns 50 on March 3, 2021.
The event is part of activities lined up to celebrate Omorogbe’s big 50. He has contributed immensely to the growth of the Nigerian entertainment industry over the past two decades. Praised for managing Nigeria’s foremost superstar, 2baba, Omorogbe’s work in the industry has cut across different facets, including media, A&R, songwriting, event production and filmmaking.
The roundtable will include a team of seasoned speakers drawn from different sectors of the entertainment industry. They will shed light on the topic, “Talent Management: Perception, Reality & Challenges In A Changing World”. Panellists will include Netng founder Ayeni Adekunle, Hip TV’s Ayo Animashaun, talent managers Godwin Tom and Sunday Are; as well as MTN’s Osaze Ebueku, Chocolate City’s Aibee Abidoye, and singer Seyi Shay.
The session will be moderated by Buki Sawyer-Izeogu of Buki HQ, while industry powerhouse Edi Lawani will deliver the keynote address. The roundtable will hold on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, at 11:00 AM (WAT), and participants will have to register to attend.
CEO of ID Africa (owners of Netng), Femi Falodun said, “Since 2009, and through platforms like NECLive and NET Honours, Netng has consistently chronicled, celebrated and honoured the best of Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Today, we can’t possibly tell the story of Nigeria’s music industry in the past 20 years without mentioning Efe Omorogbe and his remarkable contributions, and this is why we are proud to be partnering with Now Muzik for this special event.”
Efe Omorogbe says “Netng has been a longtime partner, and I’m honoured that they are doing this. There are lots of misconceptions around talent management and this session will no doubt address a lot of them. I encourage everyone interested in talent management and the entertainment business as a whole to attend because, from the line-up of panellists, I’m confident that we’ll all pick up a lesson or two.”
The event is the perfect opportunity for people looking to break into the music industry to learn from established entertainment businessmen. Register here.
