Music Distribution in Kenya
From Gengetone and Genge to Benga, Gospel and Afro-pop, ORB Entertainment gets your Kenyan release onto Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, TikTok and 150+ stores worldwide. Pay at checkout in Kenyan Shillings (KES), keep 100% of royalties, and request staff-processed withdrawals.
Nairobi's new wave, delivered everywhere
Kenya's scene is exploding. Gengetone took over the streets of Nairobi, Genge and Benga keep the roots alive, and a fresh generation of Afro-pop and Gospel artists is reaching East Africa and beyond. Boomplay and TikTok are central to how Kenyan fans discover and stream that music, and ORB delivers to both as first-class stores.
Getting paid has long been the hard part for Kenyan independents. ORB keeps the exact withdrawal amount in its immutable wallet ledger. Staff process requests to a local bank in its supported local currency, or to wire, PayPal, or Payoneer in USD.
