Charterhouse, organisers of the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) has announced nominees for the ‘Artiste of the Decade’ category.

In the special category for this year’s awards, the organisers nominated Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Efya, Becca, Stonebwoy, Joe Mettle, R2bees, No Tribe and Nacee, and Okyeame Qwame.

The ‘Artiste of the Decade’ category is to honour an individual artiste who has been able to stand the test of time for the past 10 years ( a decade) in the music industry with a greater level of influence.

The last ‘Artiste of the Decade’ category went to the highlife maestro Julius Kojo Antwi. This category will be a different category from the ultimate category called ‘Artiste of the Year.’

The 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is slated for May 18.
