Johannesburg, South Africa — September 2024 — Masters Of The Industry (MOTI) proudly announces the launch of its latest educational video series, MOTI Verified, designed to empower African musicians, songwriters, and producers with the tools they need to make money in today’s music business. This series, created in collaboration with the African Leadership Academy (A.L.A), features Grammy Award-winning performing artist and songwriter Nomcebo Zikode, legal expert Palesa Dwaba of Dwaba Attorneys, and branding specialist Tshepang Makofane from ContextAfrica. The series takes nine students through the essential steps of becoming a music business professional, covering key fundamentals often overlooked in the industry.

MOTI founder, Munya Chanetsa, did not want to deliver the same message he’s been sharing for years, so he took a different approach. Rather than continuing to preach the message himself, Munya called on his fellow friends and industry experts—people he views as MOTIs (Masters of the Industry)—to help reinforce these lessons. He believes that hearing directly from those who are doing the work and benefiting from it will have a stronger impact on creators.
