History
Glitch Africa [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] was founded in 2021 by Nigerian media producer Best Amakhian in Lagos, following over a decade of experience in television and radio production. Conceived as a creative platform for African talent, it aimed to document and present live music performances with cinematic precision and authenticity.

[26] The platform has been recognized for contributing to the evolution of live music presentation in Africa and for elevating contemporary African sound to a global audience.
The company launched with Glitch Sessions, a live performance series featuring emerging and established African artists. Known for its simple stage design, focused lighting, and emphasis on audio clarity, the series presents live performances intended to highlight the diversity of contemporary African music. Initially produced in a small Lagos studio with limited resources, Glitch Sessions gained online attention for its distinctive visual style and consistent presentation of African artists including live performances with Teni, [27] Boy Spyce "Body" in 2022, Morravey "Feel" & "Ifineme" [28] in 2023 and LIona & Fave "Cold war", [29] Kojo Blak & Kelvynboy [30] with "excellent" [31] etc.
As the platform grew, Glitch Africa expanded to other African cities such as Accra, Nairobi, and Dar es Salaam, collaborating with regional artists and creatives to showcase African music across broader audiences.
