The event saw Michelle Agyekum step up as the BLACK CARPET host for the second time running, claiming the stage of the Grand Arena Arena in Accra. As guests arrived on the BLACK CARPET featuring a fabulous Smirnoff bar and a 360 photobooth, several important questions abound: Would DJ Vyrusky become the first DJ to win the coveted DJ of the Year award for the 6th time in 11 years, after his nod for DJ of the Year? DJ Sly, DJ Speech, DJ Lord, TMSKDJ, Master Que and DJ Kess were up for several armloads of awards; how would they fare? And King Promise?! There is, in the end, only one way to find out.
Under the captivating theme “Moved By Music,” the event was a spectacular showcase of talent, featuring electrifying performances by a myriad of DJs and musicians. Among the standout acts were the sensational Shatta Wale, Oyokodehye and MC Nana King display of Ghana’s rich culture through their highlife performance, DJ Faculty, dynamic duo Dope Nation, Edem, and all the way from Lebanon, the internationally acclaimed DJ Sky.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the highly coveted DJ of the Year award was clinched by none other than the remarkable DJ Lord, making a sensational debut this year. His mastery of the turntables and exceptional contributions to the music scene were duly recognized on this pulsating night.
