As part of its expansion into Africa, Gamma has appointed Nigerian songwriter, recording artist, and music executive, Larry Gaaga as its Vice President and General Manager for West Africa.
This strategic move reflects the company’s determination to make Nigeria its operational hub, challenging the traditional preference for South Africa as the base for international labels and brands in the region.
By establishing its headquarters in Nigeria, Gamma hopes to strengthen the regional foundation established by its digital distribution arm, Vydia, as well as promote a two-way interchange of culture and opportunities for artists globally.
Gamma’s President for Africa and the Middle East, Sipho Dlamini, emphasised the company’s mission to develop indigenous talent and make them into international superstars. He highlighted Larry Gaaga’s historical background and cultural proficiency as being essential qualities for building the networks and assets required for Gamma’s success across the continent.
