About James Propa
James Propa (born James Kaliisa) is a Ugandan music executive, digital distribution strategist, and music media personality. He serves as the Artist and Label Partnerships Manager for Christian and Gospel music in Sub-Saharan Africa at Spotify. In August 2024, Propa organized the first "Spotify for Artists" Masterclass in Kampala, Uganda, facilitating regional training sessions at the MoTIV creative hub focusing on streaming monetization, digital analytics, and playlist structures for local content creators.
