Full list of winners of the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards: Ebony Reigns crowned Artiste Of The Year.......

The 2018 edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (#VGMA2018) organized by Charterhouse was successfully staged at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday April 14, 2018.

The 19th edition of the awards show which was hosted by John Dumelo and Berla Mundi saw the best of performances from Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, Samini, MzVee, Joe Mettle, Mary Naa Amanua Duodo & Nana Yaa, Kelvin Boy, King Promise, KiDi, Kuami Eugene, Praye, Fancy Gadam, Kwesi Authur, among others.

Ebony Reigns who died this year through a g0ry accident was awarded posthumously with the most prestigious award on the night, Artiste Of The Year.

The saddest part of the night was when MzVee, Akosua Agyapong, Adina, and Afya had to do a rendition each of the songs of the late Ebony Reigns. May Her Soul Rest In Peace!

It was refreshing to see Praye perform together as a group after breaking apart for a long while.

Nasty-C from South Africa gave a dose of his hip hop music from that part of Africa and the audience seemed to have enjoyed him.

Nigerian female artiste, Tiwa Savage made sure she impressed her Ghanaian audience with some of her popular songs.

And Africa's best rapper, Sarkodie showed class on the night with his sterling performance.

The Lifetime Achievement Award this year went to Mary Naa Amanua Duodu of the famous Wulomei Group.
