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.

The event will see varied performances and artistes who have distinguished themselves in the year under review rewarded.

 Gospel singer May­ford Muzik is using her music to inspire people to trust in God’s love, especially during difficult times.

Her debut song, produced by Kaywa of Highly Spiritual Records, emphasizes the message of God’s unwavering love and its availability to those who are bur­dened.

In a world where life’s challenges can lead to depression, Mayford Muzik believes that holding onto God’s steadfast love was the key to overcoming adversity.

The song offers a posi­tive and uplifting message, reminding listeners of the transformative power of faith and divine love.

Gospel singer Mayford Muzik, whose real name is Mavis Fordjour, believes that the love of God is often overlooked.

In her song ‘Odo,’ she openly shares her personal testimony of how trusting in God’s love has helped her navigate life’s challenges.

Mayford Muzik encourages her listeners to look beyond their own strength and find solace in God’s love, which she describes as a re­liable ‘insurance’ policy for facing life’s battles.

“My journey has taught me that God’s love is the ultimate insurance policy – it’s the one thing that can never be taken away. This is the mes­sage I bring to the world as I release my first song and I know it will be a blessing,” she said.

The video, now available on You­Tube, offers a visual representation of the theme. The scene of a woman lost in the desert, only to be rescued by an angel and led to a stream, serves as a compelling metaphor for God’s love and deliverance in times of desperation.

This vivid portrayal likely reso­nates deeply with viewers, conveying a message of hope and redemption.
