Like most Cameroonian young people, When I launched myself into the music business, I had no form of formal education in music or the music business, and we had to struggle with whatever tools we had, to carve a space for ourselves.
In that journey, a lot of people held my hand, and through this Academy, I wish to mobilise experts from Cameroon and across the globe to give the younger generation proper capacities and tools to stand a better chance at achieving their dreams in the arts and entertainment industry.
The Creative and Cultural Industries remain not only a pillar of our sociocultural fabric, but a powerful tool for social impact and economic empowerment for every emerging economy.
