THE GMAUK ORGANISATION

ABOUT THE GHANA MUSIC AWARDS UK

The Ghana Music Awards UK is largely a people’s choice awards scheme that seeks to champion and expand the development of the Ghanaian music industry both home and abroad, into an international market for global recognition of Ghanaian creative works.

The scheme is established to create an open market for collaboration, sales, new music trends, cultural exchanges, marketing opportunities and several benefits to be accessed by Ghanaian musicians in the United Kingdom.

The expectation of the organisers of the scheme is to make the GHANA MUSIC AWARDS UK brand the biggest music festival to be held yearly in the United Kingdom to award excellence and creativity and give an equal opportunity for Ghanaians in the diaspora to compete with their local counterparts on one platform of excellence.

GMAUK IS THE BIGGEST NIGHT.

The Ghana Music Awards UK is the biggest night. This is because the organisers attach much more passion to the planning of the event to create very colourful scenes on the night for the teeming crowd and patrons that travel from far and near to have fun. One of the uniqueness of the event, is the fashion sense of our patrons who exhibit true African styles in different forms with a nostalgic feeling .On the night of the event, we see all music fans glammed up to compete with the celebrities for a spot on the red carpet .The red carpet for this year is heavily charged as the rich and mighty in the UK is desiring to compete over ‘who is who’ in the Ghanaian community .The event is gradually creating a high mileage on its own, and we believe it’s important to celebrate our stars and make it eventful for our patrons to also shine in their colourful appearances …. GHANA MUSIC AWARDS UK Our Music, Our Culture….. our slogan for the 6th edition.
