Ghanaian singer Kelvynboy has earned three nominations at the upcoming Ghana Music Awards UK for his collaboration with rising star Kojo Blak on the track “Excellent Remix.” Charts Ghana announced the nods on Wednesday, highlighting the song’s strong showing in key categories ahead of the awards’ 10th anniversary edition.

The nominations place “Excellent Remix” (also referred to as “Excellent”) in the running for Most Popular Song of the Year, Collaboration of the Year, and Afrobeats/Afropop Song of the Year. The recognition underscores the track’s widespread appeal among fans both in Ghana and across the UK diaspora.

The Ghana Music Awards UK, now marking a decade under the theme “Taabea GMA 10 Years,” celebrates outstanding achievements by Ghanaian artists at home and abroad. The 2026 ceremony is scheduled for October 31 at the Royal Regency in London.

Full nominations were unveiled earlier this month, featuring major names including Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Medikal, and Wendy Shay across more than 30 categories.

“Excellent,” the original collaboration between Kojo Blak and Kelvynboy, first gained traction after its release in late 2024. The upbeat Afrobeats track, known for its catchy hook and energetic production, quickly amassed millions of streams. An official music video directed by Henry Akrong further boosted its visibility, while live performances, including a notable session on Glitch Africa, helped solidify its status as a fan favorite.

A remix version expanding the collaboration has continued to keep the song in rotation.

Kelvynboy, whose real name is Kelvin Brown, has built a career blending Afrobeats, highlife influences, and melodic songwriting. He first rose to prominence in the mid-2010s and has maintained a steady presence with hits that showcase his smooth vocals and charismatic delivery.

Collaborating with Kojo Blak, a newer voice in the Ghanaian scene known for Afro-fusion sounds, proved a successful pairing that resonated with both local and international audiences.

The song’s previous success at the main Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) earlier in 2026 adds weight to its UK nominations. At the 27th TGMA held in May, “Excellent” by Kojo Blak featuring Kelvynboy took home the Best Afrobeats Song award, beating strong competition from tracks by Wendy Shay, KiDi, and others.

It also earned nominations in categories such as Collaboration of the Year and Best Music Video.

For Kelvynboy, the three UK nominations represent continued validation of his work beyond Ghana’s borders. The Ghana Music Awards UK has grown into an important platform for recognizing talent within the diaspora and highlighting music that travels well internationally.

Categories like Most Popular Song of the Year often reflect genuine fan engagement through streams, airplay, and public voting.

Public Reaction

Public reaction to the announcement has been positive, with supporters congratulating both artists and noting the track’s staying power. One early comment on the Charts Ghana post emphasized that the recognition felt fully deserved.

Voting for the awards is open through official channels, allowing fans in Ghana and the UK to influence the outcomes.

Kojo Blak has also benefited from the collaboration’s momentum. The artist has seen his profile rise significantly following the release of “Excellent” and subsequent features, including work with other prominent Ghanaian acts. The partnership demonstrates the strength of cross-generational or cross-style pairings in Ghana’s vibrant music industry.

As the October 31 ceremony approaches, attention will focus on which songs and artists ultimately take home the trophies. The 10th anniversary edition carries extra significance, with organizers aiming to deliver a memorable celebration of Ghanaian music culture in London.

Coverage is expected from various media outlets, including Sammyflex TV, which plans extensive reporting from the red carpet and main event.

Kelvynboy’s triple nomination stands out as a highlight for the song that has already proven its commercial and critical appeal.

Fans of Ghanaian Afrobeats will be watching closely as voting continues and the awards night draws nearer.

The full list of nominees across all categories is available on the official Ghana Music Awards UK platforms. For Kelvynboy and Kojo Blak, the coming weeks offer an opportunity to celebrate the success of a collaboration that has connected with listeners far beyond its initial release.
