KENYA MUSIC WEEK LIMITED Information

Formed in June 1999, PHAT! Music & Entertainment Limited is a multi-media, youth-orientated authority on African music and entertainment. Triple P Kenya Publicists, established in April 2002, is also a Kenyan entertainment company involved in market research, music production, distribution & publicity, event management and media production. Concerned that music piracy is robbing the Kenya Music Industry of over KShs 10 billion annually - while our fragmented industry appears powerless to fight for its rights; we created an accessible public forum for Industry stakeholders (i.e. musicians, producers, promoters, distributors, media, consumers, government & NGOs) to interact and produce solutions to Industry problems. This is Kenya Music Week; and the first-ever edition was successfully held in Sarit Centre’s Expo Hall for 4 days from Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th December in 2004. This was followed by five equally successful annual Kenya Music Weeks, in December 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, at the same venue. Since then Kenya Music Week has evolved to ONGEA!- The Eastern Africa Music Summit targeting all the 16 countries that make up the region. Since 2015 we have brought together stakeholders in the region to explore and debate issues that affect them.
