The Opportunity


Capturing the momentum of African music and entertainment

The global rise of Afrobeats represents one of the most significant shifts in popular music in a generation. With more than 2 billion monthly streams and growing mainstream penetration across North America, Europe, and Latin America, African-rooted music is a defining force in global culture. 


Yet the infrastructure to monetize and scale that culture at an institutional level has remained fragmented and underdeveloped. The Malachite Group (TMG), backed by Helios Sports and Entertainment, is positioned to fill that gap, building a platform that serves the over 200 million people in the African diaspora with premium live experiences, professional talent management, brand partnerships, and consumer products.


The total addressable market spans live events, streaming economics, brand endorsements, and adjacent lifestyle categories. TMG is well-positioned with both cultural credibility and institutional backing to capture it at scale.


Founder


Founder leading talent agency business has proven track record, exiting last company to United Talent Agency.

Founder Obi Asika built Echo Location Talent Agency into a leading multi-genre agency representing artists including Wizkid, Tyla, Marshmello, Central Cee, and Chase & Status before selling it to United Talent Agency in 2021. He stepped back from UTA in early 2025 to focus full-time on TMG’s talent vertical. 

TMG’s team combines genuine music industry pedigree with institutional-grade operational experience. 

Cultural Impact


A movement with deep roots and global momentum

TMG's flagship festival, Afro Nation, has grown from a single event in Portugal in 2019 into a global phenomenon, with fans traveling from 180+ countries to attend. 


The festival’s audience skews female, millennial-to-Gen Z, and diasporic, a community that has historically been underserved by mainstream entertainment infrastructure and that brings exceptional loyalty and spending power.


The predominantly female audience and the festival’s social reach of over 1.7 million followers reflect how deeply embedded the organization is in the lived cultural identity of their fanbase. Afro Nation's Instagram following exceeds legacy festivals like Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, and Sziget.

Business model


3 revenue pillars projected to reach $38 million by 2029*

TMG’s vertically integrated flywheel operates across three revenue pillars:


  • Live experiences: Flagship owned-and-operated festivals and licensed events that serve as the top of the funnel, building community and providing a global stage to emerging and established African artists. 
  • Commercial partnerships: Organic growth driven by a recently formed in-house sales team focused on centralizing and boosting commercial partnerships at the live experiences and talent level, already working with the following partners: Hennessy, e.l.f., Pernod Ricard, Spotify.
  • Talent representation: Launch of the talent agency business dedicated to developing African talent worldwide, as well as enabling renowned artists to tap into African audiences domestically.

*Any projections or forward-looking statements are based on current assumptions and estimates, and actual results may differ materially.

Music Industry


An African genre with global impact

Afrobeats accounted for over 14 billion annual streams on Spotify in 2023, generating an estimated $100 million globally**. Global Afrobeats streams increased by 34% in 2024 alone, with Spotify also reporting 114% growth in music consumption in sub-Saharan Africa, outstripping every other region.


In Latin America, Afrobeats streams are up more than 400% since 2020, with Brazil recording a 500% spike, illustrating how the genre’s reach has expanded far beyond the diaspora communities that were its original international audience.


TMG’s festival brands have booked 9 of the top 10 streaming Afro Beats artists, reflecting genuine relationships built over years of being the first or most significant international platform for these artists’ careers. And TMG has played a defining role in the global rise of African-influenced music and talent, including launching the first official Afrobeats charts in partnership with Billboard and the BBC. 

**Past performance is not indicative of future results

Traction


The opportunity in numbers


  • TMG has delivered positive growth momentum, with revenue rising 35.6% year-on-year in 2025 to surpass $27 million**.
  • The live events industry is projected to almost double from $653 billion in 2022 to $1.2 trillion by 2032*, underpinned by growing consumer demand and a strong appetite for live experiences and international travel.
  • With over 20 large-scale festivals delivered across three continents and tickets sold in 90% of countries, TMG is scaling its platform through an expanded event calendar and entry into new markets, including Africa and the Americas.
