Ghana DJ Awards 2021: All the winners
The winners of the 2021 Ghana DJ Awards were announced in Accra at the weekend, with DJ Vyrusky defending his crown as Ghana’s Best DJ.
DJ Vyrusky, who walked into this year’s awards with seven nominations, also clinched the Best DJ (Southern Zone) and Event DJ of the Year trophies, making him the biggest winner on the night. This is DJ Vyrusky’s fourth time winning the coveted prize after collecting it in 2017, 2018 and 2020. It also means that he equals the record of DJ Black, who won the topmost award from 2013 to 2016.
Other notable winners on the night included DJ Kaxtro, who walked away with the Best DJ (Central Zone) and Best Male Radio DJ of the Year awards, and DJ Xpliph who was named Artist DJ of the Year and Video Jockey of the Year.
“The Ghana DJ Awards came to shape the DJ culture in Ghana and is a platform for bolstering music professionals locally,” Ghana DJ Awards CEO Merqury Quaye told Music In Africa ahead of the event this year. “We are working hard to increase the value of the awards.”
