Ghanaian- USA-based record producer, songwriter and composer, Nektunez emerged winner at the just-ended Headies awards show
The Nigerian music award scheme happened last night at the COBB Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, USA. The award ceremony saw the Ghanaian sound engineer bagging an award as the ‘Best Street Hop Artiste’
Nektunez was in the category with the likes of Naira Marley, Poco Lee, Bella Shmurda, Mohbad and Rexxie but he emerged the winner with his global hit single, Amenor Amapiano Remix.
The award for the Ghanaian producer comes after he was snubbed by Ghana’s top award schemes, VGMA and 3 Music Awards. According to sources and fans of the multitalented sound engineer, Nektunez submitted his work for nominations but it was overlooked by the Ghanaian award schemes despite the global success of the song.
Amenor Amapiano Remix was one of the biggest songs during the Christmas season across the whole of Africa and the world last year, yet it did not receive any nomination at Ghana’s acclaimed Most prestigious award schemes, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) and 3 Music Awards.
The tiktok viral hit, earlier this year in May, bagged 2 nominations (Best Street Hop Artiste & Headies Viewers Choice categories) at Nigeria’s 15th Headies Awards. The former University of Ghana student lost The Viewers Choice Award to Ayra Starr for her hit single “Bloody Samaritan” but went home as the “Best Street Hop Artiste” with his Ameno Amapiano Remix.
The Ghanaian producer and “Forever remix” hitmaker Gyakie, became the only Ghanaians who won awards last night at The Headies, which is considered Nigeria’s biggest music award show.
Nektunez currently has the bragging right as the best Ghanaian contemporary producer putting Ghana on the map as he has been working with several a-list music icons across the globe and churning out hit records. Nektunez whose real name is Noble Zogli, is presently working on his debut project and has been seen in the studio with US-based acts, Akon and Rotimi.
