Gidilounge.com CEO Olumide Adewumi Reveals the Secret to their Meteoric Success
By
STOP THE PRESS!
Yeah, that’s right, I said it . LOL!
I’m thrilled to be able to bring you the audio interview with the CEO of the world-famous Gidilounge!
CEO Olumide Adewumi shares how he stumbled upon a huge niche in one of the world’s largest
music markets. And met the needs of a hungry crowd that was looking for a solution.
Gidilounge.com, a company little more than two years old, has quickly become a cultural umbilical cord to the huge population of young Nigerians living abroad.
In this podcast interview, CEO Olumide Adewumi shares Gidilounge’s surprising founding story. He lays out his team’s formula for success, and paints a compelling vision for the future of the organization.
Olumide Adewumi founded Gidilounge with a number of his childhood friends, in 2008.
In recent years, the Nigerian music industry had quietly grown into a force to be reckoned with.
It even rivaled Nollywood in size and global impact. And still does (if it hasn’t eclipsed it)
Gidilounge.com gave the industry voice beyond Africa’s borders, where timely access to music had
before then been severely limited. By providing streaming music over the Internet, almost as soon as
that music became available locally in Nigeria, Gidilounge created a movement.
The impact cannot be overstated.
Many young Nigerians either left Nigeria to attend University, or
were born and raised outside the country. But most of these individuals hungered for positive
celebrations of Nigerian culture. In less than two years, Gidilounge became their ambassador.
Based in Canada, Mr. Adewumi runs an impressively diverse group of people, spread out over several
continents. With a heavy presence, of course, in Lagos, Nigeria.
How they did it:
Through a combination of technical know-how, business acumen, and branding savvy, Mr. Adewumi and
his team have accomplished the unlikely feat of redefining an industry that was already growing at an
unprecedented rate!
