Even though musicians like multiple award-winning dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy, and reggae legend Rocky Dawuni, have both gained nominations to the prestigious music awards scheme in the world; Grammys, Ghana is still yet to win her first award.
But there is hope finally . UK-based Ghanaian afro-gospel artist, Joseph Matthew has stated without mincing words that he has the potential of being the first Ghanaian artiste to win the award.(Grammy)
There was no quiver in his voice as he made the bold declaration of winning the first National Academy of science & Recording Sciences award (Grammy) for Ghana while speaking in an interview on Accra-based Hot 93.9FM’s ‘Rush Hour’ show hosted by Okyerefour:
” I can win Ghana’s first Grammy award…Yes, I have all the qualities to achieve such a feat for Ghana…I do good productions … I am not your usual gospel artist…I’m very unique”.
