Twicy: Seven CMA nominations validate my brand

 Ghanaian fast rising singer-songwriter Twicy is basking in the glory of his impressive seven nominations for this year’s upcoming Central Music Awards (CMA) scheduled to take place at a yet to be announced date.

He was nominated in the categories of Artiste of the Year, EP/Album of the Year, AfroPop Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and Best Music Video of the Year with Lotto and Live It Up songs off his maiden Far Away album.

According to him, earning seven nods doesn’t only validate his brand but sets his position in the music industry on a steady foot to push boundaries.

“Getting these nominations prove that all my effort and passion for music are worth it and I'm grateful to be part of such a talented group of artistes and looking forward to the big event,”he told Graphic Showbiz.

Since kicking off his career, Twicy has displayed impressive versatility that reflects his ability to carve a niche for himself in an industry that requires artistes to adjust according to the times.

Last year, Twicy released the single 'Live It Up' which brought him attention, performing it at Glitch Africa Studios earlier this year.

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, the singer disclosed that he plans to become a notable voice in African music and getting seven nominations is a stepping stone towards achieving his dream.

“My earliest interaction with music was through listening to my parents’ music collection at home. I would often sit or lie down and listen to the cassette tapes of Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Ofori Amponsah, Fela Kuti, etc.

“I was mesmerised by the sounds and melodies. This sparked my interest in music, and as I grew older, the passion for music became stronger and I knew that was my path so I began to explore more about music and this is where I am today,” he said.

Central Music Awards is organised by Heritage Promotions.
