Prophet Atarah opens new studio, launches Atarah Praise 2025

Prophet Joseph Atarah has launched his annual event aimed at bringing believers together in an atmosphere of worship and praise.

The theme for this edition is ‘Restoration’ with the belief that patrons would be restored in the face of their challenges.

The programme will be in two parts, with the first scheduled to take place in the United Kingdom at 5pm on May 11, at Pleasant Place Church.

The Ghana edition will take place at the forecourt of Believer’s Grace Crown Ministry International, Bond Square, Adenta Barrier, at 4pm on May 25.

Prophet Atarah has paraded Piesie Esther, Kofi Owusu Peprah, Nana Yaw Asare and Mavis Asante among others for the Ghana edition.

For the UK edition, patrons will enjoy performances from Kofi Owusu Peprah, Kobby Mantey, Emmanuel Smith, and Ern Ruthy.

Speaking at the launch, Prophet Atarah said, God has been good throughout last year, and 2025 has started on a positive note.

Against this backdrop, he wants to bring believers together and, in unity, to praise God.

He said, like what happened last year, a lot of miracles will take place.

In a related development, Prophet Atarah also commissioned a new studio for rehearsals and live recordings.

This, he said, was not limited to him, but open to every musician across all genres.

Fameye wins Highlife Artiste of the Year at TGMA25

At the just-ended Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), Ghanaian musician Fameye earned the title of Highlife Artiste of the Year.

Fameye emerging as the winner in a highly competitive category that featured some of the industry’s most celebrated names, including Kuami Eugene, Kofi Kinaata, Sista Afia, and Kwabena Kwabena.

Known for his deeply spiritual performances, Fameye is no stranger to connecting emotionally with fans. Many believe it’s this emotional depth powered by what he calls his inner spirit, ‘Peter’ that separates him from his peers.

His stagecraft, often referred to as “unapologetically unfiltered,” may divide critics, but it undeniably commands attention. Every live set by Fameye feels like a rare fusion of hope and prayer that sticks long after the music ends.

Fameye is redefining highlife music in a way only he can with ‘spirit’, substance, and unmatched stage presence.

Charman K makes strong fashion statement at TGMA26

Musician Sylvester Kwakye, widely known in showbiz circles as Chairman K, made a bold statement at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs 2025) with not only his commanding presence but his striking sense of fashion—heralding what appears to be a confident return to the music scene.

Clad in a sharp, dark blue tailored suit accentuated with elaborate gold embroidery along the shoulder and sleeve, Chairman K stood tall and proud against a vivid red backdrop.

The outfit, paired with a crisp white shirt, slim black tie, and a regal black traditional cap with gold designs, symbolized both cultural pride and personal reinvention. His look drew admiration, capturing the attention of many at the event for its blend of sophistication and identity.

Chairman K has been a notable figure in Ghana’s music industry since 1999. He shot to fame in 2003 with his nationwide hit “AIDS Aduro”, a song that resonated across communities for both its rhythm and message.

Over the years, he has collaborated with celebrated Ghanaian artistes such as Flowking Stone and Kwadwo Nkansah (LilWin).

However, the journey hasn’t always been smooth. Balancing academics and music proved challenging, prompting him to pause his music career to pursue higher education.

Chairman K is an alumnus of Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School (OKESS) and holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mathematics Education.

Now, he returns to the limelight with new music, including “Wogye Wo Din” and the controversial “M3bo Wo Dua”, which sparked public debate and a fiery clash with outspoken entertainment critic Sally Mann.

Following Sally’s critique of his song recently, the musician, without equivocation, threatened to assault the critic, as he deemed the remarks as an attack on his career.

With plans to collaborate with artistes from Nigeria, Liberia, and South Africa, Chairman K’s resurgence signals not just a comeback, but a reinvention—and judging by both his style and energy, he’s back with a bang.

The 26^th Telecel Ghana Music Awards was held at the Grand Arena on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
