Electrifying Hypeman Sheye Bank’s Manager, Garba Kabir, Signs Strategic Deal with Orchard Music

Garba Kabir, the talent manager and industry executive behind the career of electrifying Nigerian hypeman Sheye Bank, has entered into a strategic partnership with Orchard Music, a leading music distribution platform serving independent and signed artists.

The partnership is designed to create a structured pathway for emerging and underground Nigerian artists to distribute their music professionally and gain greater exposure within
Nigeria’s rapidly evolving music ecosystem.

Under the new deal, Garba Kabir will oversee the distribution and development of selected emerging artists, working closely with Orchard Music to identify promising underground talents and help position them for a transition from emerging acts to breakout stars.

Kabir’s role will extend beyond music distribution. He will be involved in identifying promising artists, coordinating their releases, developing strategic plans around their music,
and helping connect emerging talents with the wider opportunities available within the Nigerian and international music industry.

Speaking on the partnership, Garba Kabir said:

“There is so much talent coming out of Nigeria, but many underground artists struggle to get the right structure, visibility and industry support. This partnership with Orchard Music gives
us an opportunity to build a proper pathway for these artists from discovering their potential to distributing their music and ultimately helping them become recognised names.”

The partnership comes at a time when Nigeria’s music industry continues to produce artists who are gaining audiences both locally and internationally. With digital streaming and independent music distribution becoming increasingly important to artists’ careers, the collaboration aims to give emerging musicians access to a more organised route to market.

Through the partnership, Kabir will focus on talent discovery, artist development, release coordination and distribution strategy, while Orchard Music will provide the distribution
infrastructure required to deliver music across relevant digital platforms.

The initiative will particularly focus on identifying underground artists with the potential to become breakout stars, providing them with professional guidance and a distribution framework capable of supporting their growth.
Kabir, who has built experience within Nigeria’s entertainment and talent-management space through his work with artists and performers including Sheye Bank, sees the partnership as an
opportunity to contribute to the next generation of Nigerian music talent.

“Our goal is not simply to put songs on streaming platforms. We want to discover artists who have something special, give them the right structure and help them build sustainable careers.

The next big Nigerian star could be performing in an underground venue today, and we want to be part of the journey that takes that artist to the global stage.”

The partnership between Garba Kabir and Orchard Music is expected to open a new
channel for emerging Nigerian artists seeking professional distribution and industry support,
while strengthening the bridge between grassroots talent and the mainstream music industry.
