our story

originally founded in 2020 as a creators’ community, crcl became the management vehicle for afropop star ayra starr and has since evolved into a boundary-pushing cultural enterprise, bridging talent, opportunity and infrastructure across music, media, film and technology.

crcl was built to connect brilliance to infrastructure, so african creativity can grow with power and permanence.
