JAHFROBEATS contest looking to unite Jamaican, African artistes
Music collaboration app Cyphr has launched JAHFROBEATS, a contest inviting Jamaican and African musicians to collaborate on a song using the app for a chance to win cash prizes and gain recognition on a global scale.
The contest is aimed at uniting musicians from both regions, fostering cultural exchange, and creating a new sub-genre that blends the vibrant sounds of the two musical powerhouses.
Producers Chimney Records and Troublemekka have also lent their talents to the contest by submitting their riddims, adding more excitement to the mix.
By leveraging the power of the app, a release said musicians can seamlessly collaborate, record, and produce songs directly on their mobile devices, making the creative process more accessible and engaging.
"We are thrilled to launch the JAHFROBEATS contest on the Cyphr app. This initiative represents our commitment to fostering collaboration and cultural exchange within the global music community. We can't wait to see the incredible music that emerges from the creative partnerships between Jamaican and African artistes,” Cyphr’s CEO Dylan Brennan said.
To participate in the JAHFROBEATS contest, artistes need to download the Cyphr app, available for free from the Apple App Store, and begin collaborating on a song. For African producers, the challenge is to collaborate with a Jamaican artiste, while Jamaican producers are encouraged to team up with an African artiste.
Together, they can explore the fusion of styles, rhythms, and melodies, resulting in an extraordinary musical experience.
The contest will run until July 1, with the winners being determined based on the number of plays their collaborations receive on the Cyphr app. The top three collaborations with the highest number of plays by July 1, 11:59pm EST, will be awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes, respectively.
The prizes for the contest include:
- 1st Prize: US$2,500
(Split between the producer and artist, US$1,250 each)
- 2nd Prize: US$1,000
(Split between the producer and artist, US$500 each)
- 3rd Prize: US$500
(Split between the producer and artist, US$250 each)
