The stars were out in their numbers to add to the sparkle and glitz of the night at the launch of 4stye TV’s 2013 Music Video Awards which took place at the Silver Star Tower in Accra on Friday night—your favorite celebrities strutted their stuff and posed for the cameras on the red carpet.
It was exciting to see celebrities and fans alike mingle and mix, drink in hand and bask in the paparazzi at the event which was sponsored by MTN and Club Beer.
This year’s 4syte Music Video Awards promises to be the best we have seen yet as a lot of research is said to have gone into the thorough selection of videos that would be capable of shooting our little nation into the international scene.
4syte TV at the launch introduced yet another award, adding to the already existing categories known as the ‘’Most Influential Artiste of the Year”. This is going to be awarded based on how popular an artiste’s music is and how much the fans and public in general responded to it.
Another relatively new award, “The Lifetime Achievement Award” would also be given to artistes that have hugely contributed to the progress and development of music and culture in Ghana. Last year, the title went to own Hip Life Grandpapa, Reggie Rockstone.
Artistes nominated for this year’s 4Syte Music Video Awards 2013 include: R2Bees, VIP, EL, Efya, Sarkodie, Eazzy, Yaa Yaa and others (Check for the full nomination list below).
The main event, slated for the 17th of November, 2013 would be fireworks not only because of the fashion forward outfits our celebrities are already putting together to blow our minds for the night but also because of the great quality music and videos that we can all jam to… The organizers have also promised that the event will pull in more interaction between the media, the celebrities and of course their fans.
The launch event saw Praye and contestants from MTN’S HitMaker heating up the floor with amazing performances and for once, I was glad I had ditched my heels for flats so I could party hard.
That was just the preliminaries, definitely looking forward to the main event.
