There are 29 award categories covering major music genres in Ghana, from highlife to reggae, as well as scratch DJ of the year, popular DJ of the year, and artist DJ of the year amongst other exciting categories.
“This year, we have invited a number of DJs, radio personalities, musicians, and producers to celebrate the event with music fans. A number of measures had also been put in place to make the event a memorable one,” the organisers told BEATWAVES.
