Background

edit

Muzikol Music Awards was launched to give back recognition for well-deserved African music stakeholders free of bias and favors. The MUMAs do this by using Artificial Intelligence tools in the nominations process, voting system, and also in determining the final winners.[3] In 2017, Nges Brian founded Muzikol which is a one-stop-shop for musical services and products and also a music social network to sell Cameroonian musical products and at the same time, connect the Musicians with friends and families.[4] In 2020, Muzikol expanded its activities from online to offline by launching and executing the first edition of the Muzikol Music Awards in Douala - Cameroon which brought together thousands of music stakeholders from allover Cameroon [5]
