AKA TV launches this Friday

The platform will be available on iOS and Android for a monthly subscription of R49 ($2.60). AKA TV will feature the rapper’s exclusive music previews, behind the scenes footage, live performances and documentaries.

“The launch of AKA TV is testament to Kiernan’s progressiveness and forward thinking as a musician and businessman,” AKA’s manager and Vth Season co-owner, Raphael Benza, said. “This is something he has wanted to do for a long time and we’re proud to see this initiative come to fruition.”

AKA took to Instagram to share the news with his followers and opened the floor for his fans to ask questions about the platform.

The new app, AKA’s team said, comes at a time when “artists are far removed from their followers whom they would engage with on the road through a live show format. AKA is bridging the gap and strengthening the connectivity he has with music lovers through digitally curated content with them in mind.”

AKA is also expected to release new music, which will be available via the AKA TV app.

“Brand new music dropping the week after next,” AKA wrote in a tweet on 4 May. “Will probably perform them on the Super Mega Show on AKA TV next week.”
