Black Sherif, King Paluta Lead Race for TGMA Artiste of the Year

Accra, Feb. 25, – Black Sherif's "Iron Boy" album and King Paluta's relentless 2025 hits position them as frontrunners for Artiste of the Year at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs).

King Paluta, last year's runner-up to King Promise, dominated with "Foko" (TikTok smash), "Thank You," "Asikyere," "Between Me & God," "La Vida Loca," and "Ewor Me" featuring Kwabena Kwabena—racking 33.5M YouTube streams and #4 Audiomack ranking.

From Afrofuture headline to grassroots shows in Sunyani-Ejisu and international tours (US-UK-Europe), plus features with Efya/Joyce Blessing, the "Hit Machine" transcended genres.

Nominations closed—expect fierce competition in Ghana's comeback music year.
