Welcome to the Shasha Pathways Series, and this is our Entrepreneurship Edition, where we speak with purpose-driven founders across Africa and the diaspora who are building bold, impactful ventures.

Today, I’m joined by Ifeanyichukwu Ezinmadu, an EdTech entrepreneur, creative innovator, and musician who’s bringing music, artificial intelligence, and education together in exciting ways.

Ifeanyi is the Founder and CEO of SymphoMe, a music-learning platform that uses AI and Music Information Retrieval (MIR) to transform the way people practise and perform music. He’s also a former Mastercard Foundation Scholar, a pianist with experience across the UK and Nigeria, and someone who’s worked in everything from private equity to business accelerators,all while building his own company.

His story reminds us that creativity, technology, and purpose don’t have to be separate paths and I’m so excited to learn more about how he’s building the future of music education.
