The 25th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards was a night to remember for the Ghanaian reggae, dancehall and afropop singer Stonebwoy as he was crowned with coveted industry-leading accolade “Artiste of the Year” for his trailblazing artistry and impactful charity in the year under review–with about 90 shows headlined across the continent, intensive media run, hit album and chart-topping singles and scoring the highest audience appeal and popularity under his belt.
