Celebrating the Launch

Speaking about the platform, Oscar Mbo said:
“Groovists, this app isn’t just about the music — it’s the backstage pass to my entire world. From the roar of the main stage to quiet moments with my family, from suitcase-packed travel days to what I’m wearing before I walk into the club. For the first time, I’m letting fans see every beat of my life — the highs, the hustle, and everything in between.”
With fans increasingly looking for deeper, more authentic experiences beyond social media, FortheGroovists positions Oscar Mbo at the forefront of the growing direct-to-fan movement, offering a premium destination where music, culture and lifestyle come together in one exclusive digital community.
