Bose Ogulu, the mother of Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, has been nominated for Best Manager of the Year at the 2025 Music Week Awards. This is not the first time she has earned international recognition for her contributions to the music industry.
The awards ceremony will take place on May 5, 2025, at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, where leaders from the industry will come together to celebrate excellence in music management. In 2022, Ogulu won the Manager of the Year award at the Artist & Manager Awards in London. The highlight of that event was when Burna Boy himself presented her with the award, alongside Sheniece Charway, the Artist Relations Manager at YouTube Music.
Bose Ogulu has played a crucial role in shaping Burna Boy’s career and elevating his presence on the global stage.
In addition to being a seasoned manager, Ogulu holds a degree in foreign languages and has a background in translation. This expertise enhances her skills as a strategist within the entertainment industry.
She is also the founder of Spaceship Collective, a management and publishing company that is dedicated to supporting African artists.
