The race for the Artiste of the Year at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) 2026 is heating up, with two of Ghana’s most celebrated musicians — Stonebwoy and King Promise — leading the conversation. Both artists have had remarkable runs over the past year, setting the stage for one of the most competitive showdowns in recent memory.
So, who truly deserves to walk away with the highest honor in Ghanaian music this year?
Stonebwoy: The Consistent Hitmaker and Global Icon
Stonebwoy, the award-winning Reggae/Dancehall and Afrofusion artiste, is no stranger to the TGMA spotlight. After securing Artiste of the Year in 2015 and again in 2024, he returned stronger than ever in 2025 with new hits, global tours, and solid collaborations.

King Promise: The Afropop Star with Chart-Topping Power
King Promise has been steadily climbing the industry ladder, and 2025 was a breakthrough year that cemented his place among Ghana’s elite. Known for his smooth vocals and infectious Afropop melodies, he connected deeply with fans across Africa and beyond.
2025 Highlights:
- Released his much-anticipated album True Colors, which received both critical and commercial acclaim.
- His hit single “Paris” topped charts in Ghana and Nigeria and even entered Spotify’s Viral Top 50 globally.
- Collaborated with international artists including Ayra Starr, Rema, and Joeboy.
- Packed venues during his “Promise Land” concert series in Accra, London, and Lagos.
- He gained recognition as a cultural fashion icon, expanding his influence beyond music.
King Promise’s massive commercial appeal and ability to fuse highlife, R&B, and Afrobeats into a contemporary sound make him a top pick for TGMA 2026. He’s one of the few artists bridging the generational gap between old-school lovers and new-age Afrobeats fans.
