Gospel artiste, Daniel Agyin, known widely in music circles as Goldmann has been nominated for the Best African Gospel Artiste in this year’s Independent National Gospel Music Awards ( INGOMA) would be held in Greemtone Johannesburg on August 27.
The annual awards is focused on exposing, promoting, and celebrating the works and talents of rising African gospel music artistes.
Goldmann, who has been nominated for the Best African Gospel Artiste is competing with the likes of Jean Mar T (DR Congo), Chengetai B (Zimbabwe) and Evangelist Peter from Nigeria in the category.
In an interview with The Spectator, the ‘Nyame Adom’ hitmaker said he is very excited about his nomination and added that he was also on the cover of the June 2022 edition of the official magazine for the Gospel Choice Music Awards(GCMA) XChange Awards.
“I am the first African Gospel artiste to enjoy this honour and I’m grateful to God this achievement since it will help me sustain my credibility and brand in the industry,” Goldmann added.
The ‘Ayeyi ndwom’ hitmaker explained that this year seems to be a double portion for his ministry and pleaded with fans around the world and particularly in Ghana to vote for him to win his category.
Goldman is mostly in Ghana to promote his music which has earned some awards in Ghana. Some of his songs are ‘Ayeyi ndwom’, ‘Asem’ and ‘Nyame Adom’.
In 2019 for instance, he was adjudged the Best Song Writer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year at the Ghana National Gospel Music Awards.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
