WMA United Africa is a Congolese music distribution company. It operates the WMA Hub platform, which offers artists and labels delivery to what it says are more than 200 streaming services, royalty payment within 48 hours without a subscription fee, rights and royalty-split administration, playlist pitching and paid promotion. It also sits above a sub-label, WMA RDC, whose catalogue is licensed exclusively to WMA United Africa Limited and distributed onward by ONErpm. Its base is Goma in North Kivu, with a Kinshasa operation, and every contact number it publishes is a Democratic Republic of the Congo mobile number.
The company is independent and built around one person. Landry Xbb, born Kitwanda Landry in Goma in 1997, is named as its founder and is the only principal identified in any source; no parent company, investor or major-label stake appears anywhere in the record. It began as a blog rather than a distributor: Landry Xbb created 2Go Actus in 2016 and renamed it World Music Actus, or WMA, in 2017, and a Music In Africa listing from the operation’s earlier phase describes a free promotional platform with television, radio and gospel branches. By 2020 he was producing artists under the WMA name, and by 2026 the business was selling distribution and licensing catalogue commercially. That shift from promotional outlet to rights intermediary is the substance of the company.
Its documented roster is Congolese. Osee Elektra was announced as a signing in March 2026, and Naskiss Sultan’s single “Sita choka” of 17 July 2026 carries the WMA RDC and WMA United Africa Limited licence credit. Bargoss Irbajo and Aspino Boy were among the artists Landry Xbb was producing as early as 2021 and both still appear as named testimonials on the company’s site. A separate marketing engagement credits the company on Innoss’B’s album ARENA WAY, where the recording itself is owned by M Soul Records. What the company has not published is a corporate record: no registry entry for WMA United Africa Limited has been located in the United Kingdom or anywhere else reachable, so its legal form, incorporation date and shareholding are unconfirmed, and its figures of more than 720 artists and 50 labels are its own claims rather than audited numbers.
