An entertainment founder from Lagos told people at a blockchain conference in Kigali that African artists need better tech access to compete worldwide. Seyebomi Ogunsanya, aka Sheye Banks, runs Hevy Hub, and the guy said tools like blockchain and AI should amplify creative work without changing what makes African storytelling unique.
He mentioned that the continent has massive creative potential, but creators lack proper infrastructure and resources to capitalize on their talent. The entrepreneur wants African artists to control their intellectual property through blockchain while using digital platforms to reach bigger audiences. His incubator teaches young people how to blend artistic skills with technology, and he stressed that character development matters just as much as building products.
