SMARTBOY MANAGEMENT is East Africa's premier record label and talent management house — shaping the voices that define a generation.
Our Story
SMARTBOY MANAGEMENT was founded with a singular mission: to give East African talent the world-class infrastructure it deserves. From the streets of Nairobi to global stages, we close the gap between raw talent and lasting impact.
We are more than a label. We are strategists, storytellers, and advocates — building careers with intention and protecting the art that defines our culture.
With a roster spanning Afro-fusion, drill, trap, and R&B, our sound is as diverse as the continent we represent.
Leadership
“Music is the language of a generation. Our job is to make sure the world hears it.”
Peter Ombati, a.k.a. Manager Smartboy, is the founder and chief executive of SMARTBOY MANAGEMENT, one of East Africa’s most forward-thinking music and talent companies. With a deep passion for African music and an eye for raw, undiscovered talent, Peter built Smartboy from the ground up.
Under his leadership, Smartboy has signed and elevated artists across multiple genres, secured brand partnerships, and expanded the label’s footprint across East Africa and beyond. His vision is simple: build legacies, not just careers.
