If you're wondering how Platoon comes in, here: they are a subsidiary of Apple Music, “offering advances, distribution and support to 88 African musicians — and quietly becoming a major player amid an industry wide shift toward establishing a larger footprint on the continent,” according to CEO Denzyl Feigelson.
Feigelson sees Platoon’s work as about creating self-sufficiency for artists in the region. “I want artists to be able to manage their music on our platform; get services like health care, legal and accounting; learn about publishing, touring, how you market; and conquer things like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch,” he said to Billboard.
Simi joins Nigerian acts like WurlD and Cuppy on Platoon.
