Ghana DJs Awards 2021: Full list of nominees

“The Ghana DJ Awards came to shape the DJ culture in Ghana and is a platform for bolstering music professionals locally,” Ghana DJ Awards CEO Merqury Quaye told Music In Africa in September. “ We are working hard to increase the value of the awards.

“Last year, we were able to host an event with a very limited audience and we are looking forward to doing the same this year. In the wake of COVID-19, the organisers seek to reward DJs in a very significant way, during the Battle of Our Time Experience. The winner will receive 10 000 cedi ($1 700) and the runner-up will get 5 000 cedi. The clinic is also going to take a bigger turnout this time around. We are looking at doing things that will be felt nationally, so we are looking to expand.”

The official Dj of Kuame Eugene and Shatta Wale, Dj Vyrusky leads with over 6 nominations, follow by Dj Sly and Dj Mic.
