During a recent trip to AfroNation Portugal, Quam found himself deeply motivated by the experience. As a lifelong admirer of 50 Cent, he was particularly inspired by the enduring power of classic hits that can sustain a music career for over two decades. Quam also emphasized 50 Cent’s remarkable achievements as a mogul in the film/TV industry and his numerous successful sponsorships.

Quam’s aspirations reach far beyond music, as he articulates his deep admiration for 50 Cent and his desire to emulate his multifaceted empire. Recognizing the significance of diversifying his ventures, Quam aims to make a lasting impact not only on the entertainment industry but also on other fields, leaving behind a powerful legacy for future generations. He draws immense inspiration from the trailblazing careers of Akon, Diddy, 50 Cent, and Jay Z, acknowledging their pivotal role in paving the way for artists and entrepreneurs like himself on this transformative journey.
One of the key areas Quam plans to focus on is artist development. He understands the importance of nurturing young talent and providing them with the necessary resources and guidance to succeed. Quam aims to establish a talent management agency that not only discovers and signs promising artists but also provides them with the tools and support they need to thrive in the competitive music industry and also life in whole.
Additionally, Quam, who is also a member of the world music duo GALAKTiQ, is deeply passionate about promoting African culture and music on a global scale. With his sights set on collaboration with international artists and producers, he aims to create fusion projects that seamlessly blend Afrobeats with various genres, introducing the world to a distinctive, trendy and vibrant sound. Quam firmly believes that by showcasing the richness and spectrum of his cross-appeal artistry, with his unique blend of influences from the US to Africa and the Middle East, he can break down barriers and cultivate a greater appreciation for diversity within the global music scene.
Furthermore, Quam has already established his foundation called QATLEEF in Africa, which focuses on providing educational opportunities and resources for underprivileged children. Quam believes that education is the key to unlocking potential and is committed to ensuring that every child has access to quality education, regardless of their background.

His determination to leave a lasting impact on the entertainment industry and pave the way for others to succeed was palpable. With his exceptional executive qualities, relentless work ethic, and boundless creativity, there is no doubt that Quam will continue to trailblaze and spearhead the new wave in the global music environment.
