This year’s event which marks 10th edition is scheduled to commence at 4pm.

The ‘Agbebolo hitmaker’ recounted in an interview with The Spectator Agoro about how she used to struggle to write songs earlier in her career.
“It became a first prayer topic on my list, I remember how I used to wait for God to answer my prayer I was able to write my own songs after an encounter I had in a dream” she stated.
“It is 10 years and I can not wait to celebrate this edition with you all” he tweeted and said she is doing this with some other great gospel musicians like; Obaapa Christy, Piesie Esther, M.O.G and Nana Yaw Asare.
