The Indiba Project Series

Most music programs want you to be ready before they let you in. Indiba works differently. We find artists who are not finished yet and we help build the foundation while the music is still being made.

The Indiba Project Series is a music incubator under SIRYUS A.M, a creative collective dedicated to finding, developing and launching independent artists across Africa. Each edition brings together a curated group of rising artists for a structured season of collaborative recording, direct mentorship, and a professional release campaign with real strategy behind it. Not a one-time session. A full process with real outcomes.

What Artists Actually Get

Through Indiba, participants work alongside producers, songwriters and fellow creatives to make music that reflects where they are and where they are going. Every artist receives mentorship on career strategy, brand building and the business side of the industry. At the end of each cohort, SIRYUS A.M selects a group of participating artists to come together on a collaborative album. That album, the Indiba Volume series, is co-owned by the artists and SIRYUS A.M. Each volume is the product of a cohort, a document of what independent African artists can build when they are given the right room.

Beyond the music, artists get access to live performance opportunities, distribution support and industry introductions that open doors beyond the series.

The People Who Have Been In The Room

The first cohort of the Indiba Project Series brought together a group of artists and facilitators that made the scale of this thing clear from day one. Artists who came through include Hidaya Morgan, Max Prodigy, Couronne, Aine Arsene and Chriss D.

The first cohort learned from people who have done the work. Winny Ezeme, winner of The Gospel Icons Africa 2023, spoke on branding as an artist. Marlon Grigsby, an author, coach and renowned CISO who is CEO of Sentry IT Group, a CIO advisory in the USA, led a session on goal-setting as a creative. Eddie Hatitye, Executive Director of the Music In Africa Foundation, and hip-hop legend Dana Dane took the artists through the music business. Bob Ngene covered music marketing. Julz Ossom, Kofi Black and Ritadeviolinist worked with the artists on stage performance.

Why It Works

Indiba does not hand you a platform and walk away. The structure is what makes it different. Artists go through the process together, which means the network they build inside the series is as valuable as the music they make. The collaborative album at the end is not just a release. It is proof that the work happened.
