Full job description
100AFRO is looking for talented writers who live and breathe African music and culture. You’ll be the voice of the platform — writing articles, features, and breaking news that our growing global audience reads every week.
This is a freelance, per-article role to start. The best performers will be offered a monthly retainer and eventually a full-time position as the business grows. We want writers who want to grow with us.
WHAT YOU’LL WRITE
- Breaking news in African music and entertainment — Afrobeats, Amapiano, Afropop, Afro-fusion, and beyond
- In-depth features and cultural commentary — long reads that get shared and cited
- Artist profiles, interviews, and album reviews
- Trend pieces covering the African entertainment industry — business, streaming numbers, events
- Lifestyle and culture content connecting the diaspora to the continent
- Weekly recurring features (charts commentary, artist spotlights, This Week in Afrobeats)
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Strong, clear writing in English — you can tell a story and make people feel something
- Deep, genuine knowledge of African music — you know who produced the B-side on an Asake album
- Ability to write quickly and accurately on breaking news without sacrificing quality
- Self-directed — you pitch ideas, meet deadlines, and work without hand-holding
- Experience writing for a blog, publication, or online platform (portfolio required)
- Bonus: existing music industry contacts or access to artist press teams
WHAT WE DON’T CARE ABOUT
- Your degree — we care about your writing, full stop
- Years of experience — a great portfolio beats a long CV every time
- Your city — as long as you have reliable internet and meet your deadlines
