TASCK operates with a vision to bridge the gap between creativity and influence by fostering important conversations and sending powerful messages. The company claims to be a driving force in the entertainment industry and this event is just an example of its influence on creatives.
Jos natives MI Abaga, Jesse Jagz and Ice Prince are among leading acts programmed for the Incredible Music Festival.
“Nigeria is not ready for this festival!” TASCK CEO and Incredible Music Festival founder MI Abaga has said of the initiative. “Where have we seen an event where we’re bringing up-and-coming artists, A-list artists, activists, tech guys, and private sector guys all together in the same space to have conversations, eat, party, and create change? I mean it’s unheard of. We’re giving young creatives a platform to shine and at the same time we’re telling people to go out and vote.”
