Managing Partner Michael Wildes is proud to announce the approval of the petition filed on behalf of Sallam Sharaaff, who is known for bringing Tanzanian music to many corners of the world.
Mr. Sharaaff is an esteemed music manager and music executive who is considered among the ranks of other important music figures. Expertly managing careers of African artists notably Diamond Platnumz and the Wasafi stable of artists, Mr. Sharaff has led them to continental and global fame. In turn, the exploding popularity of African artists has prompted a rise in transatlantic musical collaborations, a majority of which have been overseen by Mr. Sharaff. That Mr. Sharaff has been a recognized figure in the music industry since the early 2000’s, combined with the facts that he has led artists to performances reaching thousands of viewers and that he released the best-selling debut albums, is undeniable evidence of his sustained acclaim and stature as an individual of extraordinary ability in the music industry. Mr. Sharaff is in charge of an important movement that has brought Tanzanian music to most countries in the world.
