Sarkodie, Kontihene for SB City Awards

The event which seeks to honour young musicians from SB City who have excelled in their trade will feature Sarkodie, Kontihene and a host of other musicians on the night.

An initiative of Coast Side Entertainment in partnership with Nenyi George andah, the New Patriotic People (NPP)’s Parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya West, the awards scheme, according to the organisers also aims at throwing spotlight on the music business in the constituency. 

Speaking with the Showbiz on Tuesday, a member of the organising team, Benjamin Ainooson, aka Kojo Vapour, said the awards scheme was established to motivate young musicians from the constituency to seek greater heights in their careers.

In all, awards in 15 categories will be given to deserving artistes. The categories include Artiste of the Year, Popular Song of the Year, Hip Hop Artiste of the Year, Gospel Song of the Year, Hiplife Artiste of the Year, Best Group, Reggae/Dancehall Song of the Year and New Artiste of the Year.

“The criteria for the selection of nominees in the various categories was based on the popularity of the songs and lyrical content as well,” Kojo Vapour said.

Of course with Sarkodie and Kontihene representing, the night will not be about just the presentation of awards as the 7:00 pm event will be charged with performances from them.

They will dish out some of their popular songs which have endeared them to many music lovers. Some underground artistes from SB City will also be on hand to do their own thing.

“This awards ceremony is the first of its kind in the constituency and as such, it must be a memorable one for the natives. The artistes on bill are big and we know the patrons are yearning to see them,” Kojo Vapour added.
