Douala, January 31, 2025 – Aftown Music, a leading digital streaming platform dedicated to promoting and monetizing African music, has officially expanded to Francophone Africa, starting with Cameroon. This strategic move aims to provide local artists with a powerful tool to distribute their music, reach a global audience, and earn revenue directly from their streams.
A Bold Launch in Partnership with Cliq Empire
To ensure a successful integration into the Cameroonian market, Aftown Music has partnered with Cliq Empire, a major player in local entertainment. Prince Michael Enobi, founder of Cliq Empire, has been appointed as the CEO of Aftown Francophone Africa, bringing his industry expertise to tailor the platform to the cultural and musical landscape of Cameroon.
According to Statista, the Cameroonian music streaming market is projected to generate $10.09 million in 2025. Aftown Music aims to play a crucial role in this growth by providing a local alternative that ensures fair compensation for artists.
“It’s time for local creatives to have a platform that prioritizes their growth and guarantees fair compensation.”

A Platform Designed for African Artists
“Our mission is clear: to help Cameroonian artists turn their talent into sustainable income. We provide them with an intuitive platform to track their streams and receive their royalties.”
Zewo Charity Christele, Chief of Operations Aftown Cameroon
Aftown Music stands out as a 100% African platform, offering not only music streaming but also podcasts, videos, and local cultural content, including Makossa, Bikutsi, and Afrobeats. Unlike major international platforms, Aftown guarantees a fairer revenue-sharing model and a direct connection between artists and their audience.
A Launch Event Focused on Music Monetization
To mark its entry into Cameroon, Aftown Music is hosting a launch event, titled “Monetizing Your Music Online: How to Turn Your Streams into Real Cash”. This soft launch will be a unique opportunity for artists to gain insights into the digital streaming landscape and strategies for optimizing their earnings.
The event will bring together Aftown executives, major Cameroonian music figures, and industry professionals for interactive discussions and networking opportunities.
A Gateway to Francophone Africa
Cameroon is just the first step in Aftown’s broader expansion into Francophone Africa. Following its successful establishment in English-speaking markets, the platform plans a progressive rollout in other countries across the region.
