Stonebwoy has once again cemented his position as one of Ghana’s leading music stars after winning the Best Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year award at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
The award was announced during the highly anticipated ceremony held at the Grand Arena in Accra, where musicians, producers, entertainment personalities, and fans gathered to celebrate excellence in Ghana’s music industry.

Over the years, the musician has built a strong reputation through hit songs, energetic stage performances, international collaborations, and consistent representation of Ghanaian music on global platforms.
His latest award adds to an already impressive career filled with multiple local and international recognitions, reinforcing his status as one of the major figures shaping modern Ghanaian reggae and dancehall music.
Fans at the awards ceremony reacted loudly when his name was announced, with social media platforms immediately filling with congratulatory messages from supporters, fellow musicians, and entertainment personalities.
The category remained one of the competitive sections of the night, reflecting the continued popularity and influence of reggae and dancehall music within Ghana’s entertainment industry.
Stonebwoy has consistently used his music to blend reggae, dancehall, Afrobeats, and African sounds, helping him attract audiences both within Ghana and internationally.
Industry observers say his ability to maintain relevance over the years while adapting to changing music trends continues to distinguish him within the Ghanaian music landscape.

Stonebwoy’s latest recognition therefore not only celebrates personal achievement but also reflects the continued strength of Ghana’s reggae and dancehall culture on the international stage.
