The Joey Akan Experience is a long-form interview series that puts Africa's most significant creative voices in conversation. Each episode goes deep — into careers, creative philosophy, industry realities, and the ideas shaping Africa right now.
Hosted by Joey Akan, Africa's foremost music journalist and the creator of Afrobeats Intelligence, TJAE brings the same editorial rigour and cultural authority that built one of Africa's most trusted media platforms to a new format. This is not a highlights reel. It is a full conversation, given the time it deserves.
An Úrú Collective Production.
What to Expect
Every guest is someone who has built something real. Every conversation goes somewhere most interviews don't. TJAE is for listeners who want more than soundbites — who want to understand how Africa's most interesting people think, work, and move
