TurnUp Music has been successfully hosting local talent in South Africa for over a year now. Further growing the platform, TurnUp Music has now partnered with one of the world’s largest tech companies, Samsung. The tech giant will now host local South African music through a streaming service on its Z Series Smartpnones.
“Samsung, as the global smartphone leader, is the perfect partner to accelerate not just the streaming platform, but also to reduce barriers to entry across Africa. The 4G enabled Z Series devices are both accessible and affordable, making it a great tool for listening to music and watching videos” said Thabiet Allie, CEO of TurnUp Music.
Through this partnership, TurnUp Music and Samsung are focused on the development and growth of local artists from South Africa. The service will provide the artists with various collaborative opportunities and a strong market reach to develop their careers. The announcement of the partnership was unveiled at AfricaCom, one of the largest African telecoms, media and technology events.
“Because Samsung always strives to create technology that enriches people’s lives, we are delighted to partner with TurnUp Music in this initiative, bringing local sounds to users and helping to promote local musicians,” said Craige Fleisher, Director Integrated Mobility, Samsung.
