Guinness Ghana DJ Awards launched

The 2024 edition of the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards has officially kicked off with a launch event on June 20, 2024.

Produced by Merqury Republic, this year marks the 12th edition of the awards.

Merqury Quaye, the organizer of the scheme explained that the award showcased the exceptional talent within Ghana's disc jockey community.

The coordinator for Merqury Republic, David Quaye, pointed out experiences fans should anticipate as the main event approaches.

This year's activities include the Pub Festival, which allows the organizers journey to other regions outside Greater Accra to discover talented DJs in the selected regions. The Ghana DJ Clinic is the educational arm of the awards scheme that empowers DJs through conferences and other educational programmes.

The coordinator revealed that the board has reintroduced the regional category, which was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The awards scheme recognizes the efforts and hard work of DJs in Ghana and Africa at large, including the coveted Best DJ of the Year, Afrobeat DJ of the Year, Female DJ of the Year, Discovery DJ of the Year, and Event DJ of the Year, among other categories.

DJ Lord OTB won the ultimate prize as the Guinness Ghana DJ of the Year in 2023, making him the reigning champion. Will he retain the title, or will another person take over?

Themed “United by Music,” the 2024 edition promises to be more enthralling by bringing together DJs across Ghana and Africa at large to make the event memorable.

The major awards is scheduled to take place on November 9, and all fans are entreated to join the remarkable celebration of Ghana’s finest DJs.
