Joining Ragoowansi will be Ninel Musson, the co-owner of Vth Season, a South African, full-service entertainment marketing agency. Musson brings her experience working with a diverse roster of recording artists, writers and producers as well as pop-culture talent and associated event platforms to the panel.

The panel is rounded off by Msaki, a curator and producer. Through singles like “Blood, Guns and Revolution” (2020) and the South Africa Music Award-nominated album Zaneliza: How the Water Moves (2016), the Eastern Cape-raised artist has established herself as a fearless artistic force. She is also the owner of the label, One Shushu Day Artistry, and will bring an important independent perspective to the panel.

Building Bridges will be moderated by Sarah-Jane Nicholson, one of WiM South Africa’s founding members. Nicholson is also the founder of SJN Agency, and Africa Rising Music Conference (ARMC) and is currently based in Berlin where she heads up Paradise Africa.
