This month, I’m excited to have teamed up AMPD Studios by Old Mutual to host an exclusive AMPD Masterclass with some of South Africa’s leading managers in the entertainment industry - Sibu Mabnea, Thuli Keupilwe and Martin Myers.
Sibu Mabena, the founder of Duma Collective, has managed to build a career around her passions - dance, social media and talent management. Some of the world-class productions she has been part of include Cassper Nyovest’s ‘Fill Up The Dome’, ‘Fill Up FNB Stadium’ and Black Coffee’s ‘Music Is King’.
Thuli Keupilwe is the founder and owner of an artist booking agency, Lawk Communications (Pty) Ltd, and represents artists such as DJ Maphorisa, DJ Sliqe and A-Reece.
Martin Myers is the founder of the NPC Music Exchange and has been a publicist and music manager for Sipho "Hotstix" Mabuse for 35 years strong. Martin was also BMG/ Sony Music’s Cape Town publicist and marketing manager for 16 years, working closely with local and international acts including Vusi Mahlasela, BLK Sonshine, Shayne Ward, Just Jinger, SSQ and John Legend.

I’m in Awe of Sibu Mabena

[@nanhlabotha2597]

I'm watching this from a friend's phone and I'm subscribing for her now I'm a chiller kaloku😎

[@kingsleyselinda8150]

One thing I love about Thuli since I've interacted with her a few times is that she loves what she does and protects her artists. She Wil always have my respect also for her work ethics.

[@ananias2580]

I love the growth. And Of course Mac G is a true G. Born for this, nothing better than following your purpose. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@MphoG33]

@MacG please have Thuli Keupilwe for a 1 on 1 podcast and chill

[@phumlanimzantsi9708]

PLEASE MACGEE

[@ananias2580]

Alone yeah, totally agree. She was in a former episode with Nota and another manager

[@ananias2580]

Sibu Mabena as well... She totally knows her story, totally informed, knowledgeable and able to articulate more than she is asked

[@selactivtv]

@@ananias2580 It was Phindile Matroshe not Thuli

[@MphoG33]

@@ananias2580 Thuli wasn't there...It was Nota, Phindi and Tshiamo

[@DoubleFaithVisuals]

​DAMN WHAT A GREAT INFORMATIVE SHOW I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ALREADY. AND THE CLASS IS NOT EVEN OUT YET. MAC G WE APPRECIATE YOUR INITIATIVE. TO THE MANAGERS THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY.

[@gomolemomacdonald8806]

Sibu Mabenas voice though😭😭😭👌 There's something about Thuli I don't what it is but yeah 😍😍😍 . Great episode btw🔥

[@UjuuRecords]

Thank you MacG and your Guests for empowering us in music business, thank you that was exclusive🙏

[@ananias2580]

I love how Thuli came with a vantage point from the basics... This panel was straight fire... And that last question was fire. Taking it home for the panel

[@CueFlavourPixels]

Yerrrrr these guys are preaching 😭❤️ they have just saved my business 😭❤️

[@kehumileselekedi7571]

This masterclass was amazing and full of insightful information one can use to kiss start their career in Artist management. Thank you ampd studios.

[@mthokozisivilakazi]

I'm back here for Keupzz!!! 💎❤️ She's such an inspiration, I could shadow her for 3months nje yazi!

[@otto_the1]

1 on 1 podcast with Thuli please

[@selactivtv]

Legends!! Finally get to listen to Thuli Keupilwe

[@Bzurk]

Mac G you're onto something really special with these masterclasses, man. Been a chiller for a minute now, wishing you all the best 👍🏽

[@MrSoso7676]

At 56:00 I had even forgotten that MacG was there lol! Loved the conversation structure. Just flowing conversation between experts dropping gems.

[@tshepomabale3147]

LAWK 🚀

[@LethoHali]

So proud of these ladies! Especially Sibu 🎊

[@selactivtv]

Wow!! Siphokazi is a gem!!

[@KaraboMasemola6408]

Insightful indeed and I think more conversation like this should happen more and we also need veterans are needed coz they teach experience

[@LethoHali]

Thought I am just watching ten minutes. I am still watching over an hour later. Wow 🤩...

[@tshepangphawe8350]

Stunning work Mac!

[@KATLEGO7RAMODIKE]

I need to set time across to watch this 🔥🔥

[@McebisiNgcobo]

This is amazing, so much information in this one video! I'll be rewatching a few more times

[@franklinelectro4935]

"MacG you're good at this"_ Proverb

[@kingsleyselinda8150]

Another episode ❤❤❤. I hope we'll still get another episode tomorrow

[@lalozie]

This was awesome!!! Pls have promoters on one of the sessions!

[@rayharvest]

I feel like this would have been more informative if it was setup in a presentation manner. You give Sibu points to tackle & presents then the interactive conversation between the three happens after each one presents to expand on an already full presentation done. Coz done this way; there's so much that falls in the cracks and the other one keeps wanting to put in a word before the other one finishes - and it's not so easy to keep up as a listener. But we appreciate this typa initiatives especially as independent artists❤big up to AMPD; Old mutuals; MacG and the workshoppers

[@sabelo4816]

I think they went with an informal session because it complemets the format of MacG's podcat, in essence it feels like just another dope episode of the MaG show. There really was no need for formal presentations. We sit through enough of those during the week.

[@rayharvest]

@@sabelo4816 it can be with that informal setup but with a more intentional point to point agenda. I'd rather sit through another seemingly formal presentation and get all that I could possibly get than sit through what's made informal but is bit of this and that. What's key is getting information and knowledge in full and exploiting what the workshoppers has to offer and have learned as much as possible in that short period

[@sabelo4816]

@@rayharvest Then enroll for a course. It's a podcast for crying out loud.

[@rayharvest]

@@sabelo4816 you missed the point but that's allowed; it's ok. It's a workshop - by the meaning the word. Everything they talked about here fortunately I'm very familiar with and more through 8 years of being an independent artist and this being my bread and butter(also having studied marketing Communications which is relevant in more ways than one); that's how I was able to recognize that there could have been more - especially from the two ladies. And ofcoz I watch in hopes I learn something new but there are more episodes to come. I'm speaking more for those who don't have much of that knowledge; and don't have funds to "enroll a course" - which is actually exactly who the AMPD initiative is for. Love and peace to you❤✌

[@aluwanimashau9615]

Why not do your own presentation the way you like it?

[@LethoHali]

19:00 I so get that!! That was my experience with my manager. Haven’t had a manager since!

[@tinyikostanley8880]

you need one

[@khrisnjokwana]

This is GOLD ✨🌍

The talk about finding the agent/manager reminds me of the Survivor's Remorse and Atlanta TV series

[@selactivtv]

Sibu is on another level, man!!

[@DZEMLU]

We are here!

[@ntombikayisengwenya7348]

This was so informative I enjoyed it, one thing I love about MacGs podcast it is continously feeding my brain 💯💯💯

[@ananias2580]

And Sibu didn't get to answer the psychology question "do you only look at it from an artist's perspective or do you also look at your own goals in the process of growing or building these artists?"

[@BAPusha]

Sibu wow!! 🙏

[@nyambi_m]

[@sphinxlunatic]

' As an artist, it's not your job to know about the business '... Bruh what!? It's important for an artist to know what they get themselves in to. We've seen the likes of Eazy E get screwed by their trusted managers and we don't want to make that list.
