For Artists
Join Africa's independent music discovery network.
Friqi helps independent artists build public profiles, submit music for editorial review, and become discoverable through honest radio-led discovery.
Why Join Friqi
Artist submissions, public profiles, and human editorial review.
Radio-led Discovery
Approved music can be considered for genre-based live channels and curated programming built by the editorial team.
Artist Profile
A public profile with your bio, approved public tracks, and safe artist context — discoverable through search, genres, and public artist pages.
Editorial Review
Every submission is reviewed by the Friqi editorial team, not hidden behind an algorithm. Quality and fit drive decisions.
Discovery Consideration
Approved tracks can be considered for public discovery surfaces when there is enough real activity and editorial context to support them.
Artist Dashboard
Track submissions, update your profile, review feedback, and manage your public presence from one place.
Real Artist Signals
Artist dashboards show basic submission and discovery signals where real data exists. Friqi does not invent listener counts, earnings, or stream totals.
How Review Works
From submission to editorial review and possible discovery consideration.
- Submit your track through your artist dashboard. Include title, genre, artwork, and audio file.
- The editorial team reviews it for production quality, metadata accuracy, and channel suitability.
- Approved tracks may be considered for genre-matched radio programming based on fit, schedule, and editorial context; approval does not guarantee airplay.
- Public tracks can appear in discovery surfaces when real data and editorial context support them. Friqi does not guarantee streams, followers, income, or chart placement.
