Akwaada Nyame wins 2021 talented kidz
This season’s edition of the popular talent show for children, Talented Kidz has come to an end. The grand finale was held on Sunday, April 25, 2021, at TV3’s Studio B in Accra, and witnessed the crowning of Raymond Nyarko, known on the show as Akwadaa Nyame as the ultimate winner of the 2021 Talented Kidz.
Akwadaa Nyame beat five other finalists to win the ultimate prize of GH¢10,000 cash and other items from the sponsors of the show. Rap Krachi was the first runner up, with Saliha de Poet and Blessing Alorvor coming up as the second and third runners up respectively.
The stage for the grand finale was opened with a rendition of Amandzeba Nat Brew’s Kpanlogo by singer Blessing Alovor. The dramatic entry of Spike Gee, who stormed the stage carried shoulder high by heavily built men, was a sneak peek to what awaited patrons on the night.
Dancer Andy Dabo won the heart of award-winning singer Becca, who generously doled out her proceeds from being a guest judge on the final day to the youngster. But after the first round, Andy Dabo and Spike Gee were evicted.
The final round saw the four finalists battle it out, performing with their mentors. Akwadaa Nyame came with Akwaboah and was at this point unstoppable. There were also performances from winner of 2020 Mentor, Kwaku Bany, Mr Drew as well as winner of Mentor Reloaded winner, Optional King.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
