Black Sherif wins Artist of the Year at VGMA 2024

One of the biggest awards ceremonies in the Ghanaian music industry, the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), was held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, which was the scene of a wide variety of performances, surprises, and loads of delight.

The 24th annual VGMAs organised by Charterhouse undoubtedly offered excitement and joy to the winners, leaving contenders who lost clearly disappointed while rewarding fans and patrons with electrifying performances from their favourite artistes.

With five trophies, including the grand prize of bragging rights as the VGMA Artiste of The Year, the new kid on the block, Black Sherif won the day.
