Last year ended on a
bright note for distinguished gospel acts who smiled home with awards
at the 2nd edition of the Nigeria Gospel Music Awards (NGMA Awards).
Some of the winners at the event organised by the Academy of Gospel
Music in Nigeria include high-flying Frank Edwards who won three awards.
Edwards won in the “artiste of the year”, “best male vocalist” and ‘song of the year” categories.
Emmanuel Benjamin, popularly known as Eben, won “best gospel rock artiste and the “album the the year” awards.
Other winners include Wole Oni
(best music producer); Asu Ekiye (best indigenous contemporary
category); Joe Praize (alternative category); Onos (best female
vocalist); Henri Soul (new revelation of the year); Femi Oyeleye (best
male artiste in the Disapora) and Lyn (next rated artiste) and Kayode
Olusoji (traditional gospel act).
Joe Praize said: “From now on you people should expect the very best of music from Joe Praize.”
Onos described the honour a
morale-booster, stating “in 2013 as I am preparing to release a new
album and video, excellence will be my watch word. No mediocre works
from me henceforth.”
