Blantyre 23 August 2024, Mana: In a space of two year’s co-founder of Mikozi Network, an online entertainment platform, Bright Chiligo has built Mikozi Creative Studios at Chigumula Township in Blantyre, a facility which will help create globally competitive content.

In an interview with Malawi News Agency, Chiligo said they needed space for artists to create content of high standard.

“There is a high potential for growth in Malawi’s music industry but the only set back we had was production tools that can help Malawian artists shine out there. In the digital era, it is easy to penetrate the global market and we believe this studio is the solution”, he added.

Award winning artist Onesimus was the first artist to perform at the studio on August 21, 2024.

Meanwhile several artists have thrown their weight behind the new studio describing it as a gift to the art industry.

On his Facebook post founder of HD plus Creations Gift Sukali popularly known as Sukez praised Chiligo for the facility.

“Congratulations Bright Chiligo and the entire Mikozi team, your journey of putting art at the forefront of business and elevating the entertainment industry is truly commendable. I remember when you first shared the vision, and seeing it come to fruition is incredibly inspiring”, read part of the post.

In 2020, Mikozi Network organized studio live sessions to bridge the gap between arts and the corporate world, this initiative saw various artists signing ambassadorship deals among other opportunities.
