The Trace Awards in Kigali will also be the perfect opportunity for Trace to introduce two
revolutionary digital platforms designed to uplift and empower African artists and
audiences:
Trace+: a global streaming platform dedicated to Afro-urban entertainment and
empowerment. It will allow a wide audience to access a broad range of Afro-urban
entertainment and Afro-urban educational services and activities based on videos.
Bettr: a groundbreaking Web 3.0 platform aimed at addressing the challenges related to
the collection and payment of music rights in Africa. This platform will ensure fair
compensation and streamlined processes for artists, rights holders, and stakeholders in
the music industry. We anticipate an exponential increase in music rights revenues for
artists in Africa through Bettr.
If you agree and are excited to join the Trace Awards 2023, please return your signature.
