01 // About
AFROSON1C X is an annual music showcase festival and industry conference held in Accra, Ghana, connecting African artists with the global music business.
We give African artists, creatives and music companies access to the people, platforms and opportunities that can help them grow globally and locally.
Through live showcases, talks, educational workshops and networking, AFROSON1C X brings together artists, managers, labels, publishers, platforms, brands, investors and cultural leaders from Africa and around the world; platforming local partners and pre-existing ecosystems.
The team behind AFROSON1C X has produced international-standard shows in Accra and, in 2025, presented showcase stages at SXSW London and Reeperbahn Festival — introducing West African talent to global industry audiences.
