Ghanaian reggae/dancehall artist, Stonebwoy has mentioned that despite the greater achievements he has made in the music industry, he still has a long way to go.
According to him, he has fifty more years to play his trade in the music industry.
“I am yet to work with Appietus in my career, so I have fifty more years to go. Nothing happen. If I am here to work with Appietus, you can just imagine.”

He acknowledged the contributions made by music producers such as Fredyma, Mix Master Garzy, and Appietus during the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
The ceremony, organized by Charterhouse Ghana, the annual Ghana Music Awards producers, brought together influential executives and stakeholders in Ghana’s creative economy.
Attendees included record producers, representatives from copyright and music rights organizations, musicians, and creative entrepreneurs.
Stonebwoy was presented with his official TGMA plaques at the event after delivering an outstanding performance.
The celebrated musician took the stage to receive the awards.
“I humbly just want to say thank you guys [industry] so much for supporting the Ghana Music Awards. This is the only one we have. For me, if I have to work harder 100 times and win what is deserved 100 times, I think it’s in the right way for Ghana music.”

At the Silver Jubilee edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, held on June 1, 2024, in Accra Ghana, Stonebwoy emerged as the winner in seven categories, picking up awards for Best Reggae and Dancehall Artiste for a record eighth time, Best Album/EP, Best International Collaboration, Record of the Year, Best Songwriter, Best Collaboration, and the ultimate prize, Artiste of the Year.
These historic wins at the 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards make Stonebwoy the second most-awarded artist in a single night since the scheme’s inception, following legendary Ofori Amponsah’s notable achievement in 2006.
Stonebwoy recently released his new single ‘Your Body’, a masterpiece celebrating African beauty, self-love, and body positivity.
Interweaving strains of pop, R&B, and reggae melodies, with Stonebwoy, deftly switching between singing and rapping, “Your Body” explores a seductive and playful vibe.
The song is a precursor to Stonebwoy’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, slated for release later this year.
TGMA Climaxes 25th-anniversary Celebrations With Epic Stonebwoy Performance
Reigning Artiste of the Year, Stonebwoy, delivered a stunning performance to climax the silver jubilee celebrations of the prestigious Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Following an exciting awards event a few weeks ago, industry leaders gathered once more to celebrate the progress and success of the TGMAs since its inception in 1999.
Stonebwoy, who won seven TGMA awards this year, headlined the “Industry Mixer” event at the newly built Palms Convention Centre at La Palm Royal Beach in Accra.
The award-winning Afro-Dancehall musician delivered a magnificent music performance that lasted an hour, with patrons in the auditorium enjoying some of his old and new hits.
The “Bhimnation President”, as he is popularly referred to, made a thrilling start to his performance with his “Solobo” hit single.
He further proceeded to perform some of his hit songs, including “Into the Future”, “Overlord”, “Run Go”, “Captivate”, and “Ekelebe”.
Madam Theresa Ayoade, the Chief Executive Officer of Charterhouse Productions, organizers of the TGMA, revealed their intent to organize the ‘Industry Mixer’ event for the first time.
“We decided to do this event because it is our 25th anniversary, and to crown it all, we thought of bringing industry players together and interacting with them. It was also intended to celebrate the Artiste of the Year, have a close encounter with him, and document his journey while cementing their legendary status.”

Madam Ayoade also noted that plans were advanced in setting up the Hall of Fame Museum so that tourists, students, and other people could learn more about the history of Ghana’s music.
The event also witnessed Telecel, the headline sponsor of the music awards, announce that Stonebwoy would be paid for multiple events he performs during the year as well as products from the company.
The likes of Black Sherif, Kuami Eugene, and Nacee, who also won awards at this year’s TGMA, were also presented with their plaques.
