The Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA) has honoured two exceptional individuals, Elder SK Ampiah and Francis Kwakye, with the prestigious Titan Award at the National Summit 2023.<\/p>\n
This award is a testament to their immense contributions to the development and growth of the music industry in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Both Elder SK Ampiah and Francis Kwakye have dedicated their lives to elevating the music industry, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n
The event happened at La Palm Beach Hotel on June 21, 2023, in commemoration of World Day.<\/p>\n
Elder SK Ampiah has played a pivotal role in the gospel music industry. As a writer, instrumentalist and singer, his music compositions have been the true vehicles for praise and worship over decades.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s composed over 200 songs over five decades, including \u2018Onyame Tumfo\u2019 (God Almighty), \u2018Onyame Y\u025b Nyame K\u025bse\u2019 (God is a great God), \u2018Yesu Ne Wu\u2019 (The Death of Jesus), \u2018Me twere \u0254botan bi\u2019 (I lean on a particular rock), \u2018Mmo Yesu\u2019 (Well Done, Jesus).<\/p>\n
It is common knowledge that his songs are performed in almost every Christian gathering in the country as praise and worship.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Francis Kwakye has made significant contributions to the music industry through his relentless efforts since 1969.<\/p>\n
For 54 years his dedication, commitment and selflessness to sound engineering in the Ghana music industry has known no bounds, working with virtually all legends and A-list artistes in Ghana, and providing services for entertainment shows across the nation and internationally.<\/p>\n
The VGMA Titan Award serves as an inspiration to others in the industry, encouraging them to strive for excellence and make a positive impact.<\/p>\n
It also highlights the importance of recognising and honouring individuals who have dedicated their lives to the betterment of the music industry.<\/p>\n
The event was hosted by Andy Dosty with performances from Prince Hakeem, Indigenous Band and Nii Tete Tetteh & the Tendaan Muzik.<\/p>\n
