OFFGRID – What happens when an artist stages an industry-standard event all from his pocket?

0

OFFGRID is an initiative by Isolirium Entertainment. Today, we delve into how and why it came to be.

What happens when an artist stages an industry-standard event, pays for all aspects of it, ensures there is an honorarium for all guest performers, and gives fans three and a half hours of back-to-back musical performances?

There have been conversations about artists investing in their craft, however, the dynamics have never been fully discussed. Most artists resort to paying bloggers, presenters, deejays, and stream farms for brand growth. However, the fans have rarely been the center of the “gifts” that grow brands. Even when artists decide to go beyond the traditional promotional plans, a relative lack of ingenuity retards the effects.

Realizing the importance of having a solid fan base, artists can create promotional antics that further endear them to fans. Beyond the gains associated with being a “hit” artist and one associated with the trends, it is worth acknowledging the effects of a “cult” following. The cult following is what follows you as an artist when the hits no longer drop.

To fully enjoy the stature of having such a following, an artist must seek to get closer to their fans., this is what Dr Pushkin used OFF GRID to achieve. The event was used to bring the conscious rapper close to his fans in Accra. Setup in a way that allowed easy access to Dr. Pushkin, fans did have the opportunity to interact with him aside from enjoying the energetic performances.

Who performed at OFFGRID?

For many artists, the struggle to grow is saddled with the competition with other artists, however, the positive effects of collaborations cast dents on such thoughts. While seeking to leave an impression on the minds of fans, Dr. Pushkin also sort to bring colleague musicians along. Bringing other performers to off-Grid was Dr. Pushkin’s effort towards sharing fans and also adding more exhilaration to the experience of his fans. True to his intention, the guest performers proved to be an awesome addition to OFF GRID.  Teri Wiizi, Aphee, Ataman Nikita, Kwadjo Spiri, Tradey, Gold Ganq, Walter Wani, and Silky Pablo, were the guest performers.

About Dr. Pushkin’s OFFGRID

The much-publicized OFFGRID by Dr. Pushkin and friends came off on the 13th of May 2023. Featuring an array of impressive rappers, singers, and the eclectic dance group Afrozig Divas, the event was a breath of fresh air for fans of Dr. Pushkin. With good music, free drinks, and sumptuous kebabs, Dr. Pushkin ensured the 4hrs were thrilling to fans.

For the first time in a long while, an artist with a focus on growing his brand set out to thrill close friends and fans to an exclusive performance. For Dr. Pushkin, this was the first opportunity to give Ghanaian fans a feel of his body of work. Having blessed SXSW in Texas USA with an impressive performance, the rapper journeyed to Accra, Ghana with a repertoire that represents his journey through the years.

Despite the free nature of the event, attendees could only access the event by RSVP. This was to give the conscious rapper the opportunity to prepare for his guests.

The nature of OFF GRID

OFF GRID came off at the serene and spacious Diddies Pub & Bar located inside East Legon, Accra. Despite the location, Isolirium set up an industry-standard stage with lighting, as well as a PA system that could be likened to any musical event. Security for the night was also provided by Ghana Police.

OFF GRID was fully funded by Dr. Pushkin and his Isolirium Entertainment.

More African Languages have been added to Khaya AI

0

Khaya Language Translation and Speech Recognition AI is an app dedicated to translating and transcribing African Languages. Since its release in 2021, the developers, Ghana NLP and Algorine, have strived to ensure the App sees more and more improvement. From user-friendliness to the quality of translations, Khaya AI has continued to improve. Due to consistent hard work, Khaya AI’s Yoruba text translator outperformed Google Translate in 2022. 

Building on the success of the App, the developers of the App have augmented its usefulness by adding more African Languages. Overall, the newly added languages will serve over 15 million Africans in Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Kenya – none of whom are presently served by tools like Google Translate.

Previously, Khaya AI provided the world with Twi, Ga, Dagbani, and Yoruba Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) capabilities and Ga, Ewe, Dagbani, Twi, and Yoruba neural machine learning text translators. In the most recent update, Gurene aka Frafra, a Ghanaian language, and Kikuyu, Kimeru, and Luo (all Kenyan languages), have been added to the text translation system. The developers of Khaya AI collaborated with the Harvard African Language School Professor John Mugane, who is Kenyan, to curate data and train models for the Kenyan languages. 

This new addition is a testament to Algorine’s and Ghana NLP’s quest to ensure Khaya AI’s relevance remains unparalleled. 

Khaya AI’s venture is to help preserve African Languages through advanced technology. Languages are going extinct by the day – this App is a sure way to teach Africans, African Diasporans, and anyone else who wants to learn to understand African languages. This will help ensure their continued use in everyday life.

Whether it’s a car accident, a medical emergency, or damage to your home, having the right insurance coverage can make all the difference. This comprehensive guide will explore various insurance policies and their significance in safeguarding your financial well-being. From life insurance to auto insurance, we’ll cover it all. So, let’s dive in and understand the different types of insurance policies available.

Term Life Insurance

When protecting your loved ones financially, term life insurance is an essential policy. Term life insurance differs from other types of life insurance in that it provides coverage for a predetermined duration, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years. Its purpose is to offer a death benefit to your beneficiaries in the event of your passing within the policy term.

Term life insurance offers several advantages, including affordability and flexibility. The premiums for term life insurance are generally lower than permanent life insurance policies, making it an attractive option for individuals looking for cost-effective coverage. Additionally, the flexibility of term life insurance allows you to choose a policy term that aligns with your specific needs, such as the duration of your mortgage or your children’s college years.

Health Insurance

Your well-being is an invaluable asset, and it is of utmost importance to possess sufficient health insurance coverage to guarantee access to necessary medical care while avoiding significant financial burdens. Health insurance policies cover various healthcare services, including doctor’s visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and preventive care.

Various health insurance plan options are accessible, including Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) accompanied by Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). HMO plans typically feature more affordable monthly premiums and necessitate the selection of a primary care physician and obtaining referrals for specialist consultations. PPO plans offer more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers but generally come with higher monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. HDHPs with HSAs allow you to save for future medical expenses on a tax-advantaged basis.

Homeowners Insurance

For most people, their home is their most significant investment. Homeowners insurance guarantees financial protection in case of damage or loss to your property. It covers the structure of your home, personal belongings, and liability for accidents on your property.

Different homeowners insurance policies offer varying levels of coverage, so it’s essential to understand what is included in your policy. Standard homeowners insurance typically covers perils like fire, theft, vandalism, and certain natural disasters. However, it’s important to note that homeowners insurance does not necessarily cover damage caused by floods or earthquakes. In such cases, you may need additional coverage or a separate policy specific to those perils.

Auto Insurance

Auto insurance is legally required in most states, and it provides financial protection in case of accidents or other incidents involving your vehicle. It covers both property damage and liability for injuries or damages you may cause to others.

You have various options to contemplate when considering different types of auto insurance coverage. Liability coverage is the most basic and typically required by law. It pays for the damages you cause to others and their property. Collision coverage helps cover repairing or replacing your vehicle if it’s damaged in an accident, regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from non-collision events, such as theft, hooliganism, or damage caused by natural disasters. Additionally, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can provide financial protection if you get in an accident with a driver without Insurance or insufficient coverage.

Disability Insurance

The above type of Insurance is designed to provide income replacement if you cannot work due to an illness or injury. It offers financial protection by replacing a portion of your income, ensuring you can meet your financial obligations even if you cannot work for an extended period.

Two forms of disability insurance; exist short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance. Coverage for a limited duration, typically spanning a few months to a year, is commonly offered by short-term disability insurance. However, long-term disability insurance can provide coverage for an extended period, often until retirement age. Having disability insurance can offer peace of mind, knowing that you have a safety net to protect your economic well-being in unexpected circumstances.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance aims to provide financial coverage for long-term care services, including expenses related to nursing home care, in-home care, and assisted living facilities. It provides coverage for individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living due to aging, illness, or disability.

Long-term care can be expensive; without insurance coverage, the costs can quickly deplete your savings. Long-term care insurance safeguards your assets and guarantees you can afford high-quality care when necessary. When considering long-term care insurance, reviewing the policy terms, coverage limits, and exclusions is vital in ensuring it aligns with your needs and preferences.

Pet Insurance

Pets are beloved family members, and their health and well-being are as important as ours. Pet insurance covers veterinary expenses, ensuring that your furry friend receives medical care without causing financial strain.

Pet insurance policies typically cover a range of services, including routine checkups, vaccinations, surgeries, and emergency care. Pet insurance coverage and cost can vary depending on the pet’s age, breed, and pre-existing conditions. With pet insurance in place, you can provide your pet with the care they need while protecting your finances from unexpected veterinary expenses.

Travel Insurance

When traveling, unexpected events such as trip cancellations, lost luggage, or medical emergencies can disrupt your plans and result in financial losses. Travel insurance offers protection against these unforeseen circumstances, providing coverage for trip interruptions, lost or delayed baggage, emergency medical expenses, and more.

Travel insurance policies can vary in terms of coverage and cost. Some policies may offer comprehensive coverage for a wide range of events, while others may provide more limited coverage. It’s important to carefully review the policy terms, coverage limits, and exclusions to ensure that the travel insurance policy meets your needs.

Types of Insurance Policies: Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella insurance acts as an extra level of liability coverage that surpasses the limits of your existing insurance policies. It protects against large claims and lawsuits that exceed the coverage limits of your auto, home, or other primary insurance policies.

Having umbrella insurance can offer peace of mind, knowing you have extra financial protection in case of unexpected events or accidents. It helps safeguard your assets and future earnings by providing additional liability coverage, which can be crucial in today’s litigious society.

Conclusion to Types of Insurance Policies

Insurance protects your financial well-being by protecting against unexpected events and losses. From term life insurance to homeowners insurance, each type of policy serves a specific purpose in mitigating risks and offering peace of mind.

When choosing insurance policies, it’s essential to carefully assess your needs, consider your budget, and review the policy terms and coverage limits. Working with an independent insurance agent can help you navigate the complexities of Insurance and find the policies that best suit your circumstances.

Remember, Insurance is not just an expense but an investment in your financial security and peace of mind. So, take the time to evaluate your insurance needs and make informed decisions to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your assets.
