Stonebwoy
Ghanaian Afrobeats and Dancehall icon Stonebwoy is set to join a powerful lineup of African music heavyweights at the 2025 Music Beyond Borders Conference, taking place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The highly anticipated gathering, powered by the AFRIMA Awards in collaboration with the African Union, is scheduled to spotlight the global rise and influence of African music.

Stonebwoy, known for his consistent contributions to the global Afrobeats and reggae-dancehall scenes, will be making a keynote submission on the growing impact of African soundscapes on international music trends. His address is expected to focus on the genre’s cultural crossover, streaming dominance, and the increasing collaborations between African and global artistes.

The conference aims to provide a strategic platform for key industry players, creatives, and stakeholders to engage in meaningful conversations about Africa’s cultural export, policy frameworks, music business innovation, and cross-border collaborations.

Stonebwoy’s participation firms his role as a continental ambassador for African music and creative excellence. As one of the most influential voices in modern African music, his insights are anticipated to shape discourse around Africa’s place in the evolving global music industry.
