Damaresi – Africa’s Digital Stage for Music Talent
At Damaresi, we believe music is more than entertainment — it’s a voice, an identity, and a livelihood. Damaresi is a digital music marketplace created to help emerging African artists share their talent, connect with fans, and earn from their creativity.
Born from the heart of East Africa, Damaresi was built for a purpose:
To eliminate the barriers between African music creators and the world.
Our Story
The African continent is rich with rhythm, talent, and passion — yet many gifted musicians remain undiscovered and underpaid. Streaming platforms dominate, but they often pay pennies per stream, and offer little control to independent artists.
That’s where Damaresi comes in.
We started with a simple question:
What if artists could sell their music directly and earn instantly?
Our founders — creatives and technologists — saw an opportunity to build a platform that gives power back to the artist. With Damaresi, any singer, producer, or beatmaker can upload, price, and sell their work on their own terms.
This isn’t just a music store. It’s a movement to decentralize music distribution across Africa.
Our Mission
To empower African artists to earn, grow, and be heard by providing a fair, easy-to-use digital platform for selling their music directly to fans.
Our Vision
To become Africa’s most trusted and powerful marketplace for digital music, where talent is rewarded, creativity is celebrated, and every artist — from village to city — has a chance to shine globally.
