SlikourOnLife, the renowned South African Hip Hop and Culture magazine turned content and influencer agency, is thrilled to now be offering fintech solutions
dedicated to empowering the country's creative community. With a focus on artists, musicians,
entrepreneurs and creative enthusiasts with a passion for supporting the culture, SlikourOnLife will
provide innovative financial solutions and tools to nurture these creators’ careers.
SlikourOnLife introduces two cutting-edge platforms: SOLDistro and SOLWallet. SOLDistro, an online
music distribution platform enables artists to effortlessly release their songs on all major streaming
platforms and stores, with unlimited free music uploads. While also introducing an artist's investment
fund is overseen by Prowess, a fund management company managing over 10 billion rands of investor
money. This platform also offers promotional and financial tools to help artists build their careers
while taking only a modest royalty fee.
Complementing SOLDistro is SOLWallet, an advanced transaction platform tailored to the needs of
African creatives. Artists using international DIY distribution platforms who get paid their royalties
through global fintech companies normally decide to forfeit their fees because of the tedious
process to be onboarded that isn't built to accommodate the locals. On the SOL Wallet users can
add their bank cards, and request a SOL Wallet virtual Mastercard with 0 transaction fees on POS
platforms, facilitating secure sending and receiving of mobile payments.
Members will also enjoy exclusive rewards and discounts, with plans to provide creator loans against
POs and royalties for creatives working with agencies or musicians with a revenue track record
from their streams in the near future.
SlikourOnLife will also unveil a creator B2B marketplace connecting businesses with
talented creative freelancers that have been quality checked by procurement and production teams
of SA's most established agencies. This platform will streamline the process of finding professional
suppliers while promoting the work of creative individuals.
Celebrating this significant milestone, Siya Metane, the CEO of SlikourOnLife, expressed his vision,
“Our goal has always been to create an ecosystem that centres around the needs of creators and
their consumers. The SOL journey was born out of a desire to empower creators of all kinds by
providing them with not just the tools to refine their craft, but also the necessary resources to
navigate the business side of the creative industry, reach their audiences and ultimately leave
behind a lasting legacy for future generations.”
SlikourOnLife invites all creators and creatives, young or young at heart, to embark on this
transformative journey. By harnessing the power of technology, finance, and creativity,
SlikourOnLife is revolutionizing the landscape for South African creatives, empowering them to
realize their dreams and shape a brighter future.
