27th TGMA: Diana Hamilton Expresses Gratitude For Her AOTY Nomination

Gospel musician Diana Hamilton has expressed both honor and humility after earning a nomination in the prestigious Artiste of the Year category at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

The award-winning singer is one of six leading contenders vying for the coveted title, alongside Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, Wendy Shay, and Sarkodie.

Following the announcement of nominees, Diana Hamilton described the recognition as thrilling and conveyed her gratitude to God and her fans for their unwavering support.

“It’s humbling. It’s exciting,” she said.

The gospel star also shared a lighthearted moment, noting that she came across a video in which a pastor jokingly suggested her nomination was proof that “the system is working,” a comment that made her smile.

Despite the humor, Diana Hamilton stressed her deep appreciation for the support that continues to keep her music relevant.

“I’m just grateful to God for what He’s done and to all of you for the work you put in to make our songs heard and our names stay,” she said.

Her nomination positions her among some of Ghana’s most influential music figures over the past year, including multi-award winners Black Sherif, Stonebwoy, and Sarkodie, as well as Afropop sensation Wendy Shay.

On the topic of her song “Aha Ye” missing out on nominations in the International Collaboration of the Year and Collaboration of the Year categories both of which she had won last year Diana Hamilton noted that she had not yet reviewed the full list of nominees at the time of the announcement.
