Ashaiman Music Awards 2019 Launch

The second edition of the Ashaiaman Music Awards has been launched in Ashaiman at Tropicana Lounge (Bar Rosso).

The event which was launched under the under the theme, “OBJECTING CREATIVITY THROUGH ARTS”, saw a whole lots of people in the music and the entertainment industry at large in attendance.

Notable among those present at the launch were the Member of Parliament for Ashaiman Constituency Hon Ernest Norgbey, Ras Caleb Appiah Levy, aspiring President of MUSIGA and Prince Don Tsegah of Multimedia group (Hitz fm), CEO of Adadey shipping company to support this great initiative by MassBoss Entertainment.

Teddy Kobby Edem, former road manager for Stonebwoy and a talent scout used the opportunity to explain the rationale behind the Ashaiman Music Awards and stated that the main aim is to encourage musicians from Ashaiman to eradicate the negativity news about the township and how we can project the image in high esteem, to support and also promote the good works of every emerging artist from the town.

He however stressed that, the award has suffered some challenges in its first edition especially regarding its plaques and other related matters due to lack of or inadequate financial support from sponsors and the corporate world at large.

“There is a whole lot of challenges when it comes to financial support and individuals who show interest cannot give up to that much comparing to when a sponsorship is on board which sometimes affect the smooth organization of the event but that would not stop them from organizing this years own,” he concluded.
The CEO together with the Don therefore, appealed for support in order to put the name of Ashaiman on the map when it comes to music, through the organization of Ashaiman Music Awards Festival and the DON pledge his support for all media marketing of the award “I want to sponsor publicity for the main event. – Prince Tsegah”.

“I pledge my support to this awards scheme, not only for this year’s event, also in the subsequent one”. – Hon. Ernest Norgbey.
