Del Titus Bawuah drives AMG’s UK urban music strategy
Bridging the Gap: How Music, Tech, and Global Impact are Rewriting the Rules for Billboard U.K.
A dynamic new chapter is unfolding in the music industry as Del Titus Bawuah joins ArtsHouse Media Group (AMG) as a key strategist for Billboard U.K.’s coverage and partnerships. This move brings a unique blend of cultural insight, global development experience, and technological fluency to one of the world’s most influential music publications.
AMG is a powerhouse in media, publishing titles including Billboard U.K., Billboard Canada, Rolling Stone Canada, and SPIN Canada. As AMG prepares for an ambitious expansion, including the launch of TIME Canada, the group is looking for fresh perspectives to navigate the evolving landscape of music and culture.
Bawuah’s journey to this role is rooted in a diverse background spanning technology, finance, music, media, and culture. Before focusing full-time on cryptocurrency and the web3 sectors, the British-Ghanaian executive honed his skills advising numerous U.K. music-tech start-ups.
His impact extends beyond the digital realm. Bawuah played a pivotal role in Ghana’s historic Year of Return initiative, an official government project that successfully strengthened ties between the West African nation and its diaspora in the U.K. and U.S. Furthermore, he championed Global Citizen’s launch in Ghana, developing collaborations that explored how emerging technology and web3 could be harnessed as a force for social good against poverty.
This unique intersection of skills positions Bawuah perfectly to shape the future of music strategy. He has a proven track record of building meaningful relationships across the music sector, recently spearheading projects for Billboard U.K., including securing exclusive access and producing editorial packages for major events such as Summer Walker’s Still Finally Over It tour and Lauryn Hill’s Diaspora Calling! festival.
Mo Ghoneim, founder and president of AMG, highlights the value of this integration. “Del brings a unique perspective at the intersection of music, culture and technology, along with deep relationships across the U.K. and global music industry,” Ghoneim stated. “His insight will be invaluable in deepening our engagement with hip-hop and R&B communities and creating new stories, partnerships and opportunities around them.”
Bawuah echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement about the opportunity to push cultural boundaries. “After years of building with AMG, this feels like the natural next step in taking our relationship to another level,” he commented. “I’m excited to help shape Billboard U.K.’s urban music strategy, pushing culture forward with authenticity and creating lasting impact.”
