In addition to the grant earmarked for content development, Okosi said the 23 creators from Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya, would also take part in an intensive three-week incubator programme to be followed by bespoke training, workshops and networking programmes.

He noted that top African artistes including Fireboy DML, Sauti Sol and Sho Madjozi were part of the selected 23 artists to join the ‘#YouTubeBlack Voices Class of 2021.’

“The (African) artists will join others selected from the United States, Brazil, and Australia, whose music spans generations, and locations.

“The Artist Class of 2021 will receive dedicated partner support from YouTube, seed funding invested into the development of their channels, and participate in training and networking programs focused on production, fan engagement, and well-being.
