On Da Beat's Tomorrow's World3.0 - June 13th 2024
On Da Beat hosted an event to celebrate London Tech Week at the JN Bank UK Branch community hub on Thursday June 13th 2024. The event was called ‘Tomorrow’s World3.0’. The event was to discuss how culture and technology is influencing the music industry.
On Da Beat is an independent music company based in Wandsworth, London and are currently relocating to Brixton. They run a studio and talent management company rooted in UK rap music. On Da Beat are known for producing the platinum selling record ‘Man’s Not Hot’. They provide training on producing, composing, and recording of music. In addition, the team teaches music lessons to children and young people.

Panel one discussion centred on the topic: ‘How tech is powering the growth of the Pan-African entertainment industry? Panel two focused on the topic: Run the Cheque: Redefining ownership and direct to fan.’
