Speaking to The Spectator, the musician revealed that the new wave of ‘Busanga music’ movement said, he is unique, he owns his style and wants to be seen as different from all artistes in Ghana in terms of the type of music he produces.

“I am from the Upper East Region, and as a Busanga, I felt the need to infuse my culture in my music to make me unique and look forward to win the Grammy’s in the nearest future,” he said.

The songwriter and acoustic guitarist further added that though unsung compared with some of the notable names in the Ghanaian music industry, he wass gradually gaining recognition having had the rare privilege of performing on some stages.

Ghanaian music diva, Sista Afia is keen on winning the Highlife Artiste of the Year crown.

Sista Afia, the only female nominated in a category with men, had 27 successful shows,both locally and internationally, within the year under review.

This notwithstanding, she believes that the number of music releases coupled with numerous performances across the country and abroad puts her in pole position to win the ultimate.

She is of the belief that as the only female in the category testifies the level of work she put in to be amongst the men.

Sista Afia has therefore urged the board, the academy and the general public to vote for her massively to win the crown.

For the past 10 years, she has poured her heart and soul into preserving and innovating Ghana’s beloved highlife sound, weaving modern rhythms with soulful melodies that keep the genre alive in the hearts of the youth.

While trends have come and gone, Sista Afia stayed true to her roots, giving us timeless music that tells real stories, our stories.

What makes her presence powerful isn’t just her voice or her music; it’s her message. In every note she sings, there’s a quiet defiance. A reminder that women, too, can carry the legacy of highlife.

The 26th TGMA is slated to take place on May 10 at the Grand Arena.
