#VGMA23: Winner of “Best New Artiste” will perform at ‘Ghana Party In The Park UK’ — Sponsored

It’s the dream of every artiste to go international and Charterhouse, organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) in partnership with Akwaaba UK, organizers of the Ghana Party in the Park, are making this dream a reality. Starting this year, 2022, the winner of the Best New Artist category of the VGMA will automatically win a fully funded opportunity to perform at the Ghana Party in the Park, UK.

Over the years, the Ghana Party in the Park has proved to be the platform of choice for Ghanaian artistes looking to cement their place in the UK market. Happening every year, and running for over a decade, the Ghana Party in the Park has distinguished itself as a prominent outdoor event, bringing together 1000s of African music lovers from within the UK and its environs. The likes of Sarkodie, Fuse ODG, Stormzy, Sway, Kidi, Kuami Eugene and many more acts, have all performed on this stage.

In the words of Dennis Tawiah, CEO of Akwaaba UK, “We have always been about the promotion of Ghanaian music and talent. And over the years, we have always sought for the right talents to be featured on this platform. This partnership only makes our work easier; win the Best New Artiste from Ghana’s most respected awards scheme, the VGMAs, and win a fully funded performance spot at the Ghana Party in the Park. It’s like a scholarship for the winner.”

The Project Lead and PRO of the VGMA, Robert Klah said “this opportunity is a career booster. Winners will be able to connect with new markets and build their fan base. Their perspectives on music business across borders will also be shaped.”
