Ghanaian Disc Jockey, DJ Mensah has called on organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) to award disc jockeys in their scheme.
He made the call in a Twitter discussion hosted by Andy Dosty.
According to him, it was imperative to award DJs because they play a crucial role in the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
In tandem with this, he urged Charterhouse, the organisers of the awards, to create a category in future editions of the scheme.
A few years ago, entertainment journalist Kwame Dadzie also suggested that VGMA should create a category to honour music journalists.
The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, since its inception about 23 years ago, has made a lot of changes t suit new demands and trends in the music industry. It has always promised to tweak its categories when the need arises. For example, in this year’s award, an Afropop category was added to the Afrobeats category while the Group of the Year category was taken out.
The 23rd edition of VGMA was held over the weekend, with KiDi winning the overall Artiste of the Year award.
Other artistes who won this year were Gambo, the VGMA Unsung Act of The Year and Famaye, the Songwriter of The Year.
Sarkodie, Joe Mettle, Kofi Kinaata, Niiella, Stonebwoy, among other artiste all picked awards on the night.
