The 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) was a night of celebration of Ghana’s musical talent, where the fiercely contested event saw Ghanaian musicians claim their rightful awards, per their musical prowess over the past year.
The grand ceremony took place on Saturday, June 1st, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, solidifying the TGMA’s status as the premier event celebrating the country’s vibrant and ever-evolving music scene.
Emerging as the biggest winner of the night was the evergreen Stonebwoy, who secured an impressive six awards. His accolades included the highly coveted Artiste of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Best International Collaboration, and Best Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year.
While Stonebwoy dominated the top prizes, fellow Ghanaian star King Promise also bagged a rack of awards, despite missing the Artiste of the Year award. He went home with three trophies, including Afropop Song of the Year, Afrobeat/Afropop Artiste of the Year, and Most Popular Song of the Year.
Winners at the awards ceremony also included Nacee, who won Gospel Song of the year; Amerado, who won Best Highlife Song of the year and Kofi Kinaata, who won Reggae/Dancehall Queen of the year, through his hit ‘Efiekuma Love’.
