The 2024 edition of the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards has been officially inaugurated.
The launch, which took place at the Multimedia Group Limited premises on Saturday, June 20, 2024, saw the dazzling prowess of talents in Ghana’s disc jockey industry.
Produced by Merqury Republic, the 12th edition partners Joy Prime as the official media partner.
The headline sponsor, Guinness Ghana, shared a word of appreciation to support the event for the second time.
The marketing manager for the Spirit and RTDs category of the company, Nana Yaa Amoah Owusu, who spoke at the launch, mentioned that their major aim for this year is to promote female DJs.
“DJs are the life of the party, and our flagship brand, Smirnoff, is also the life of the party, and that is the reason why we have partnered with this platform. For this year, we want to put a spotlight on the female DJ fraternity while also ensuring that overall we’re helping to build capacity,” she said.
For this, they will be holding an all-female DJ concert to uncover and celebrate the dexterity of females in the sector.
She called on corporate Ghana to rally their support behind the initiative so it can be expanded and recognised globally.
Like the past editions, this year’s awards promise to be better and more thrilling with the line-up activities.
The coordinator for Merqury Republic, David Quaye, pointed out experiences fans should anticipate as the main event approaches.
This year’s activities include the Pub Festival, which allows the organizers to journey to other regions outside Greater Accra to discover talented DJs in the selected regions. The Ghana DJ Clinic is the educational arm of the awards scheme that empowers DJs through conferences and other educational programmes.
The coordinator revealed that the board has reintroduced the regional category, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The awards scheme recognizes the efforts and hard work of DJs in Ghana and Africa at large, including the coveted Best DJ of the Year, Afrobeat DJ of the Year, Female DJ of the Year, Discovery DJ of the Year, and Event DJ of the Year, among other categories.
Themed “United by Music,” the 2024 edition promises to be more enthralling by bringing together DJs across Ghana and Africa at large to make the event memorable.
The major awards will take place on November 9, and all fans are entreated to join the remarkable celebration of Ghana’s finest DJs.
