Ghanaian ‘Urban gospel’ musician, Kingzkid
Ghanaian ‘Urban gospel’ musician, Kingzkid, has expressed dissatisfaction with the organisers of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs) after their recent introduction of a new category to the awards scheme.
In an interview on Hitz FM on January 21, 2025, Kingzkid indicated that he is not content with the introduction of the Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song category.
“For me, I think it’s not enough; maybe for other people, it might be enough. But for me, I think it is a start and an inspiration to all the artistes to be able to work harder to stand boot for boot because I definitely want to see, if not for me, other urban gospel artistes being able to win Artiste of the Year one day,” he said.
Kingzkid further called on organisers of the Telecel Music Awards to involve urban gospel musicians in other categories, such as ‘Artiste of the Year’ and others.
“I think it is a start, and the motive of doing music, first of all, is not to win an urban gospel category but to reach the entire world with your music. My vision essentially is to see people doing urban music going boot for boot with other artistes. I am someone looking to take Rap Artiste of the Year… And eventually, the first Artiste of the Year should emerge from the urban gospel as well,” he added.
The Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), on January 19, 2025, introduced the Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song category.
This category recognises the most popular gospel song that seamlessly blends contemporary genres like R&B, hip-hop, and pop with traditional gospel elements.
