Established journalist and media correspondent Bryson Paul, better known as Boom, has been named to lead RNB Magazine TV as the rejuvenated Vyre Network subsidiary’s new Creative Coordinator. The new position is Paul’s first at an executive level. In the new role, Paul, 37, will maintain the overall direction and integrity of the R&B focused channel. He will produce original content, curated playlists, visibility, organization, strengthens the brand, and will be reporting to Vyre Network Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Lamar Seay.

“We have had Boom on the radar for years and now we are excited to finally partner with him,” said Seay. “I’m confident that he can take RNB Magazine TV to the next level.”

The hiring of Boom as the Creative Coordinator for RNB Magazine TV is a win for both Vyre Network and the progressing R&B Music into the streaming industry.

“With Boom’s understanding of the music industry and his expertise in journalism, he was the perfect fit to become RnB Magazine TV’s Creative Coordinator,” adds Angie Ramos, Senior Assistant Coordinator.

“It’s a true blessing to be given this opportunity — especially during these uncertain times. R&B was my introduction to music as a child and has groomed me into adulthood. It is an honor for Lamar and David to present the opportunity to me and have faith in my work ethic, knowledge, resources, and passion to trust me with the evolution of their valued asset like RNB Magazine TV. After speaking with Lamar and David about the new direction of RNB, I happily accepted the position and immediately presented new ideas and ambition to establish a new foundation for the platform that will generate new opportunities for me to bring on other great journalists and creators I know. This is a proud moment for me and my family.”

The program is set to launch on March 25th and will run for four weeks, with regular sessions planned for the rest of the year.

The program is designed for creators, musicians, and songwriters who are looking to take their career to the next level. Participants will receive personalized attention and guidance from industry experts who have a proven track record of success. They will also have the opportunity to connect with other artists and build their network within the industry.

The Artist Discovery System Cohort is just the beginning of what Big Soph and Ab3 plan to offer. They envision this program as a regular occurrence throughout the year, with each cohort building on the success of the previous one. By providing ongoing support and guidance, they hope to create a community of artists who are committed to building their brand and achieving success in the creative industry. There has already been overwhelming interest and the first cohort is one applicant away from being completely full.

In conclusion, the Artist Discovery System Cohort is an exciting new program that is set to help artists build their brand, market their work, and monetize their talent effectively. With expert guidance and personalized attention, participants can expect to make real progress in their career during the four-week program. And with regular cohorts planned for the rest of the year, this program is sure to become a valuable resource for artists who are serious about achieving success in the creative industry.

Making a splash with their first-ever festival in the continental United States, the eclectic festival announces the latest artist additions for Afro Nation Miami 2023, which hits loanDepot park in Miami on May 27 & 28, 2023.

Adding to the festival’s array of high-wattage Nigerian talent, ANM recruits Fireboy DML to join the lineup, which already includes headliners Burna Boy and WizKid, plus ascendant stars Rema and Asake. The latest lineup additions bolster the festival’s representation of dancehall and reggaeton–bringing Jamaican heavy-hitter Mavado and Panamanian star Sech into the fold–and bolsters the Piano People stage with even more amapiano artists.

The upcoming ANM23 follows up a groundbreaking 2022 from Afro Nation, which has established itself as a major tastemaker and advocate for African music since its founding in 2019. Afro Nation brought a high-powered group of international music stars and over 40,000 fans to the beaches of Portimáo in July for the second-ever Afro Nation Portugal, with headliners that included WizKid, Burna Boy, and Megan Thee Stallion. Earlier in the year, the innovative festival made its North American debut with Afro Nation Puerto Rico. The festival closed out 2022 with Afro Nation Ghana 2022 in Accra, Afro Nation’s first event in Ghana since 2019.

Afro Nation festivals are dedicated to providing a global platform for music from Africa and its diaspora.

Earlier in the day, fans enjoyed historic performances from some of the most exciting names in the genre, including Ice Spice‘s first-ever festival set and Central Cee‘s U.S. festival debut. The hometown heroes were out in abundance on Sunday. OhGeesy led the way, performing his hits and inviting fellow Californians Kamaiyah, Bino Rideaux, and ASM Bopster, and while other Angelenos like BlueBucksClan, OT Genasis, and Inglewood’s own Rucci threw it down for their hometown fans.
