    Let’s talk about The Rise of Gen Z Artists in Music 🎶

     

    Gen Z (born mid-1990s to 2010s) is changing how music looks and sounds — especially in Afrobeats and beyond. Here’s how:

     

    🌍 1. Digital Natives

     

    Gen Z artists grew up with social media & streaming.

     

    Platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Audiomack, Boomplay help them blow up faster without waiting for radio/TV.

     

    Example: Ayra Starr’s “Bloody Samaritan” and Rema’s “Calm Down” went global partly through TikTok challenges.

     

     

    🎤 2. Breaking Old Rules

     

    Older generations often followed a strict “formula” in music.

     

    Gen Z artists experiment freely — mixing Afrobeats + Trap + R&B + Amapiano + Alternative sounds.

     

    They don’t fear being “different.”

     

     

    ✨ 3. Style & Branding

     

    Fashion + visuals are as important as the music.

     

    Gen Z stars serve looks, aesthetics, and vibes 

     

     

     

    💡 4. Independent Spirit

     

    They’re not afraid to start small, drop singles on SoundCloud, or self-promote.

     

    Many reject being boxed into one label — they call themselves “genreless.”

     

     

    🚀 5. Global Mindset

     

    Gen Z artists don’t just want to be “African stars” — they want to be worldwide icons.

     

    Example: Rema collaborating with Selena Gomez, Burna Boy with Ed Sheeran, Tems writing for Rihanna.
