Ghana Music brings you LIVE updates from the ongoing unveiling of nominees for the 25th edition of the annual music awards now referred to as Telecel Ghana Music Awards (2024 TGMA).
The awards scheme is designed to recognize and celebrate the hard work and dedication of various stakeholders and players in the music industry.
Telecel Ghana has stepped into the spotlight as the new headline sponsor of the prestigious Ghana Music Awards (formerly known as the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards). This iconic music awards ceremony is organized by Charterhouse Productions.
Previously, Vodafone Ghana held the title sponsorship for the GMAs, but now, with the transition, Telecel has taken over this role. The awards ceremony is set to take place on June 1.
