The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, which was held on the 8th of April, 2017 at the Accra International Conference Center in Ghana, was a successful one with 25 awards handed out to worthy artistes.
Joe Mettle bagged the most prestigious award of the night as the 'Artiste of the Year' making him the first Gospel artiste to win this award. I was quite surprised that Sarkodie, who was mentioned 9 times in 7 categories, won just one which is the Hiplife/Hip-Hop Artiste of the year.
