Widely respected for building creative powerhouses like Swangz Avenue, Buzz Group Africa, and the Nairobi-based The Quollective, Julius Kyazze has decided to get his hands full into AfriDigital.
Kyazze, one of the continent’s leading figures in entertainment and creative business, has officially embarked on a new chapter in his business career, entering the world of youth-driven broadcast media through a strategic role with NRG Uganda.
This new journey sees Julius Kyazze take on a board position and lead strategy for the group, bringing his unique perspective and entrepreneurial drive to a platform that’s redefining what radio and content mean for Africa’s next generation.
He will focus on brand development, programming direction, and continental growth as AfriDigital/NRG Uganda strengthens its position in the regional market and beyond.
This venture into media is a natural evolution, complementing his broader vision of building African-led platforms that connect deeply with culture, creativity, and commerce.
“This isn’t a shift—it’s a scale-up,” Julius said. “AfriDigital/NRG represents the kind of bold, unapologetic energy that speaks to today’s African youth, and I’m thrilled to help shape its future as we push into new markets.”
Kyazze also adds that his new role aligns with his long term vision to create a creative ecosystem where young African creatives can win.
“I will be taking an active strategic role to drive our even bigger ambitions for the African youth.”
“Julius brings a unique mix of vision, execution, and deep cultural insight that aligns perfectly with where we’re taking NRG. We’re excited to build the future of African media together,” said Alykhan Hudani, Founder and chairman
This however does not mean Julius has abandoned his other investments. He still remains at the helm of these businesses, continuing to lead their operations and expansion across the continent.
