The appointment forms part of the Nashville-headquartered distribution and services company’s expansion on the African continent.

Osagie opened ONErpm’s first African office in Lagos, Nigeria in 2020, and led the launch of 5 new ONErpm offices in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa in 2022.
Okirike joins ONErpm following his role at music streaming service Boomplay’s Ghana-based office as Content Executive, where he led the team responsible for creating, publishing, and promoting digital media content on the Boomplay Music app.
Prior to Boomplay, he held the role of Music Editor at NotJustOk, where he was responsible for covering Ghanaian music content.
In his new position, Okirike will be working across marketing, distribution, and A&R, supporting ONErpm’s roster of artists in Ghana.
Nnamdi is also an experienced journalist. He has conducted high-profile interviews with the likes of Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Cassper Nyovest, Patoranking, Mr Eazi, Gyakie, M.anifest, Black Sherif, Killbeatz, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Yaw Tog, Kelvyn Boy, Larry Gaaga, Wendy Shay, Vic Mensa, Chance The Rapper, and more.
