Since 2010, Mosha has also headed up ROCKSTAR 4000 MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, the first independent pan-African music company and content, digital and events production network. There, she oversaw music publishing, record deals and content licensing in partnership with Sony Music Africa, including working on the campaign for the Fifa World Cup 2010 that took place in South Africa.

Mosha began her career in 2006 as a morning radio presenter, promoter and media-marketing guru at Clouds Media Group, a leading media conglomerate in Tanzania, before moving to MTV in 2005, where she headed up A&R and Commercial in Africa, launching MTVbase in Tanzania, and working on projects including the Staying Alive Campaign with Kelly Rowland in Tanzania and the Water for Life Tour in partnership with the United Nations, Cloud Media and Jay Z.
