In an entertainment landscape driven by star power, strategy, and global ambition, one name has steadily risen to the centre of Nigeria’s talent ecosystem: Jude Osagbai, the force behind the fast-growing talent booking and public relations company, The June Agency. With over four years of operational experience, The June Agency is quietly but powerfully reshaping how artists, entertainers, and brands connect across the African continent and beyond.
Osagbai’s journey is rooted in media, music, and deep industry experience. A trained Nigerian journalist and former Entertainment Editor at Daily Times Newspapers, he built his reputation telling stories and shaping narratives. He later transitioned into talent development and entertainment management, working as an artist manager for HKN Music, Lamboginny, and Endia, before joining Runtown’s management team, where he continues to contribute today.
Beyond management, Jude’s influence runs deeper. He is the founder of June 1st Media, a content and communication solutions platform, and previously served as Label & Partnership Manager for MAD Solutions, one of Africa’s leading music distribution companies. His expertise in talent engagement, brand alignment, and business partnerships has made him one of the most versatile and in-demand professionals in the entertainment industry.
Through The June Agency, Osagbai has executed bookings, media relations, and strategic coordination for some of the continent’s most influential acts. His roster includes notable names such as Asake, Runtown, Victony, Peruzzi, Odumodu Black, Bimbo Ademoye, Styl Plus, Phyno, Timi Dakolo, and many more across music, film, and entertainment.
Now, Osagbai is preparing to scale even bigger. He is currently planning his first UK tour for 2026, targeted at leading Nigerian and Ghanaian artists; a move expected to amplify African music’s global footprint. Alongside this, he is building a swift, technology-driven platform for visa and flight processing, designed to solve one of the biggest challenges creatives face when traveling for shows, award ceremonies, and brand engagements.
Industry observers say his rise is no surprise. Combining journalism, artist management, PR intelligence, and business innovation, Jude Osagbai represents a new breed of entertainment executive; one focused not only on star-making but on building systems that strengthen the entire creative ecosystem.
With The June Agency positioned as a hub for talent booking, media relations, and cross-border expansion, Osagbai’s work continues to reaffirm his reputation as one of the leading architects of modern Nigerian entertainment.
