Following a narrow miss at the 2024 edition of the awards, the “Paris” hitmaker has been on a deliberate campaign to trumpet his achievement in the music industry in the year under review.
His efforts have included stepping up media engagement, expanding his fanbase across Africa and Europe and even employing a PR person to amplify his achievements.
King Promise’s run in the year under review has been marked by a series of hit songs and sold-out concerts that have helped him secure a strong position within the Afrobeats scene.
The Telecel Ghana Music Awards 2025 is taking place today, May 10, 2025.
The event is held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Center.
