For our next season of Xxtra we will be partnering with Bae Electronica, With Love The Agency and the Music In Africa Foundation, who launched an incredible programme last month called, Raise The Bar.

Developed as part of the Music In Africa Live program, which is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office, Siemens Stiftung, and Goethe-Institute, the Raise The Bar Programme seeks to bolster the presence of women in other aspects of the music industry, as well as equip them with the skillset necessary for survival in an otherwise impenetrable industry.

For this edition of XXtra Texx chats to Shiba, a self professed "Digital Ideasmith, Curator-Content Producer, Music Journalist and Voice Over Artist".
