Siryus Creative Media Ltd is a multidisciplinary creative company rooted in both Nigeria and Rwanda, committed to empowering innovation, artistic excellence, and cultural transformation across Africa’s creative ecosystem. Operating at the intersection of media, entertainment, education, and the arts, the company supports independent creators, nurtures emerging talent, and builds the systems needed for sustainable artistic careers on the continent. Founded by Chidiebere Ekwedike, a visionary creative entrepreneur, web developer, marketing strategist, and passionate advocate for independent artistry, the company reflects a deep belief in the power of creative autonomy, cultural ownership, and collaborative growth. With operations based in East and West Africa, Siryus Creative Media Ltd brings a bold pan-African perspective to every initiative — designing programs and platforms that move artists from potential to purpose. At the heart of the company is Siryus Artist Management (SIRYUS A.M), the talent development and management division of Siryus Creative Media Ltd. SIRYUS A.M also doubles as a creative collective—a dynamic network of artists and creatives using music as a tool and launchpad to discover, empower, and elevate independent talent. Through mentorship, community support, and strategic career development, SIRYUS A.M helps artists navigate the complexities of the industry while embracing their unique voices and creative paths. One of its flagship initiatives is the Indiba Project Series, a groundbreaking music incubator that blends mentorship, collaboration, and professional production to spotlight and elevate a new wave of independent African artists. The program provides foundational tools, industry access, and a platform for artists to grow beyond borders. To expand this impact beyond structured programs, Siryus Creative Hub was developed as the official community ecosystem of SIRYUS A.M. The Hub is designed to foster an environment of ongoing collaboration, artistic exchange, and community-powered growth. It functions as a space where independent artists can co-create, build fanbases, host and attend events, access opportunities, and even tour together. By cultivating a collaborative culture rooted in independence and collective ambition, the Hub ensures that the support artists receive doesn’t end with mentorship — it evolves into long-term empowerment. Siryus Creative Media Ltd also operates additional creative divisions, including Siryus Magazines, a storytelling platform dedicated to showcasing artistic entrepreneurs; Siryus Learning, which delivers accessible creative education; and Siryus Studios, which offers full-spectrum production and content development support. At its core, Siryus Creative Media Ltd exists to help African creativity thrive — not just through visibility and platforms, but by building real pathways to ownership, sustainability, and cultural legacy.
