Lux Exposé
Lagos pulsed with purpose on August 8th and 9th as Hennessy teamed up with global music sensation and two-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Tems to launch something big. The Leading Vibe Initiative (LVI) arrived not with a whisper, but with a roar, promising to reshape the sound and soul of the African music scene. And what better place to do it than Tems’s hometown, the heart of Nigeria’s creative spirit?
Drawing inspiration from Tems’s meteoric rise, the Leading Vibe Initiative sets out to champion women across the music industry spectrum. Whether behind the mic, at the mixing board, or in the writer’s room, the mission is simple: elevate, empower, and open the doors wider for the next wave of female talent.
