Yaw Darling receiving his award at the 2025 TGMAs
Ghana’s music scene has a new star on the rise, Yaw Darling, the dynamic artist under Sky Entertainment who just clinched the coveted Unsung Artiste of the Year award at the 26th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
This thrilling win celebrates emerging talents who have carved a niche in the industry with grit and creativity even before mainstream fame comes knocking. And for Yaw Darling, that moment is now.
With a repertoire of seven infectious singles, Yaw Darling has been unstoppable. Tracks like the vibrant “TGIF Party” (featuring rap heavyweight Medikal), the soulful “Investment” (with highlife icon Bisa Kdei), and the groove-heavy “Password” have turned heads nationwide, blending modern flair with classic highlife rhythms.
His music isn’t just heard; it’s felt, soundtracking parties, road trips, and intimate moments across Ghana.
But Yaw Darling’s rise isn’t just about studio magic.
He has become a stage sensation, igniting crowds from the Volta Region to Ashanti with electrifying performances. Earlier this year, he took his energy global, storming the UK with a media tour and standout sets at R2Bees’ Independence Day Concert and a headline show alongside OlivetheBoy in Manchester.
Each performance cemented his reputation as a livewire who leaves audiences buzzing long after the last note.
This TGMA win isn’t just a trophy—it’s a launchpad. The award unlocks a transformative marketing and distribution deal with Warner Music, poised to catapult Yaw Darling’s sound onto the global stage. At the awards ceremony itself, he seized the spotlight, delivering a performance that had the crowd roaring for more.
“This is only the beginning,” he shared post-win, his gratitude palpable. With genre-blending hits, magnetic stage presence, and a powerhouse team at Sky Entertainment, Yaw Darling is primed to dominate playlists and charts alike.
