The organizers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), Charterhouse, have announced their plans to introduce seven additional categories to the existing nominations.
This information was disclosed by Robert Klah, the Public Relations Officer of Charterhouse during an interview on HitzFM. He mentioned that among these categories are Producer of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Unsung Artiste of the Year.
“We also have the Unsung Artiste, which is going to be announced this week. And then there are a few others like Music for Good, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Traditional Artiste. I think about seven of them; those are going to be announced over the period,” Mr. Klah added.
He went on to clarify that the Sound Engineer of the Year award is won by the producer of the song that wins Record of the Year.

“Producer of the year is supposed to be based on the number of hits in a year. Because of the omission and error phase, what it means is that the numbers may change. So these categories are going to come out right after the window of omission and error, so that if there’s any correction done, it reflects in the numbers,” Mr Klah said.
Charterhouse unveiled the nominees for the much-anticipated silver jubilee of the awards ceremony last weekend.
Stonebwoy leads with 15 nominations, followed closely by Kuami Eugene with 14, Sarkodie with 8 and Black Sherif with 6 including Artiste of the Year.
