Ghana Reggae Dancehall Awards (GRDA) Announces The First Edition
The Board of the Ghana Reggae Dancehall Awards is thrilled to announce its maiden edition for Reggae and Dancehall musicians and industry players to have their own awards to celebrate their works.
The Ghana Reggae Dancehall Awards (GRDAs) is a platform to celebrate and honor past and present contributions to the development of reggae and dancehall music in Ghana. The GRDAs among other things aims at rewarding excellence by celebrating deserving artistes through a credible, homegrown awards scheme. The Ghana Reggae Dancehall Awards will commence with a call for entries in April and climax with the awards night in early August.
The GRDAs has over twenty categories which include Best Reggae Song, Best Dancehall Song, Best International Collaboration, and Lifetime Achievement Award. Other categories include Best International Artiste, Best MC, and Best Mixtape. Other activities which will herald the awards night include an international launch in the United Kingdom, a nominees’ jam, and a symposium on the music industry.
Reggae and dancehall lovers and aficionados in Ghana have long bemoaned the fact that although Ghanaians love reggae and dancehall music, the genre is not adequately celebrated in existing awards schemes. As a result, news that an awards scheme devoted exclusively to reggae and dancehall is cause for celebration.

Unraveling the Myth: Joseph Matthew Says Dreadlocks Don’t Equal Sin”
“Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the Gospel music industry.
In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artiste boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and music style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artistes who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.
Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical ghanaian Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.
Joseph Matthew hinted on a virtual concert and a new album on the horizon.
Watch what he said at the interview from below.
Also, be sure to check out his latest single, “Promise Land,” a soul-stirring anthem that embodies the essence of Afro-gospel music.
