Chris Tsormanah speaks on nominations
Music executive Chris Tsormanah has spoken about the nomination with YEN.com.gh, sharing a few predictions on who might win what. The music analyst weighed in on the prospects of Kuami Eugene, King Promise and Stonebwoy, among others.
This year's TGMA is sure to be another dicey one in terms of who wins what. If history is to repeat itself, again, a lot of the artists who got a high number of nominations may go home with just a few or maybe even nothing. Someone like Kuami Eugene, I believe, may clinch about two or three of the awards, Stonebwoy, probably four and King Promise may have three out of his six nominations. Categories like Song Writer Of The Year and Video Of The Year are very unpredictable and might go anywhere.
Artistes missing from the TGMA
