Company Summary

Josplay is a mobile-first streaming platform built for the global Afrocentric and literary audience, bringing together music, podcasts, audiobooks, and narrated stories in a single app. Where mainstream streaming platforms treat African content as a niche category, Josplay is built around it - curating and distributing the voices, sounds, and stories of Africa and its diaspora as the core catalog, not an add-on.
