Musicians shine at Pulse Ghana Influencer Awards 2024

Black Sherif received the Music Influencer Prize, while Kofi Kinaata was honoured as LinkedIn Influencer of the Year. This marks the second consecutive year they have won these awards.

Now in its fourth year, the scheme – conceived by the media company and digital marketing agency Pulse Ghana – ran under the theme Futuristic Fashion: AI Glamour. The awards recognise and celebrate local influencers across diverse fields, including dance, music, media, tech, and sports. 

Organisers reported a record 21 000 nominations for this year’s edition.

“I am super proud of our success in executing the Pulse Influencer Awards,” Pulse Ghana managing director Colette Amaeshi said ahead of the awards. “We keep beating our own record year on year. I am also very proud of the winners we produce year after year, their intentional approach towards improving their craft and ensuring they keep creating impactful content is a major source of inspiration for us as a brand.”
