The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) on Tuesday, August 8, will hold the regional and national elections of the union’s National Election Committee (NEC).
With a few months to the elections, one of the contestants who is a gospel artiste, Daniel Agyin, has appealed to members of the music community to vote for him as the Greater Accra Musiga Chairman.
In an interview with The Spectator Agoro, Mr Daniel Agyin, who is also known in showbiz circles as Goldmann, said he has been nominated in the same category with one of the Tagoe Sisters and other contestants.
“This is a competitive group, therefore, I plead with the union to throw its support behind me to help me secure this position,” the official ambassador of Texas Gospel Music and Excellence Award for Africa, pleaded.
The aspiring Greater Accra Chairman said, during his tenure as the Deputy Director of Gospel Music, he managed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ghana National Gospel Music Awards (NGMA) and Texas Gospel Music Excellence Awards (TGMEA) to have exchange programmes for the two groups.
“I have served on several awards boards around the globe, was part of the selection committee for Annual Antigua Barbuda Gospel Music and Media – Awards (ABGMA),” he stated.
Goldmann has won many awards, including the 2020 International Singer Songwriters Association’s Male Rising Star of the year, Best Male Vocalist and Best Songwriter of the year in 2019 at the Ghana National Gospel Music Awards.
He is the first African Gospel artiste to appear on the cover of the June 2022 edition of the official magazine for the Gospel Choice Music Awards, GCMA XChange.
Goldmann has also had many nominations in the USA and has been nominated twice for the Independent National Gospel Music Awards (INGOMA).
According to the Gospel artiste, he is the only Ghanaian musician on AMC, Alternative Management & Marketing Group reaching the world one. (A Chicago based management group).
“This is a deal I have signed for 2 years and there are other artistes such as Detroit Youth Choir that has appeared on the American Got Talent Show,” he said.
Goldmann who hails from the Eastern Region said he was saved through music in 1996.
“I was in the choir from then till 2000 when I produced my maiden album, ‘Captain Jesus’ which was launched three years later,” he recalled.

Ghanaian musician Sparqlyn is set to release another big hit.
His latest release, ‘Rosina,’ features Germany-based Ghanaian musician, video director, and sound engineer TEENO (known privately as Eric Kwame Tamakloe).
TEENO’s project ‘Signs’ was recently accepted by the Grammys for official consideration in the ‘Album of the Year’ category. Now, ‘Rosina’ is making serious waves across the airwaves.
Coming shortly after the impressive reception to his previous single ‘Fameko,’ ‘Rosina’ is already receiving strong attention from music lovers and radio listeners.
This new song carries an infectious Afrobeats and Hiplife feel while maintaining the romantic direction that characterised ‘Fameko,’ Sparqlyn’s 2026 Highlife collaboration with Ziya.
‘Fameko’ marked an important moment in Sparqlyn’s musical journey, with the love-themed highlife record receiving positive reactions from music lovers and media platforms following its June 2026 release.
The song became one of the highlights of his 2026 output, ranking high on multiple charts.
‘Fameko’ has also bagged Sparqlyn two top nominations: “Highlife Song of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” at the 2026 Stars Awards.
The combination of a romantic storyline, Afrobeats rhythm, and Hiplife influence give the song a sound that fits comfortably into the current Ghanaian music landscape.
The timing of the song’s release could also prove significant for the award-winning artiste. Sparqlyn recently secured two nominations at the 2026 Ghana Youth Empowerment Awards, where he is in contention for Youth Empowerment Advocate of the Year and Outstanding Youth Personality of the Year.
With ‘Fameko’ having established strong momentum earlier in the year and ‘Rosina’ now beginning to enjoy significant airplay, Sparqlyn appears to be ending another eventful chapter of his musical career on a high note.

Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeats singer Kuami Eugene Marfo known in showbiz circles as Kuami Eugene has urged fellow musicians and entertainers to use their influence on social media and other platforms to champion causes that positively impact society.
The award-winning artiste made the call during a UNICEF Ghana birth registration advocacy campaign in Bepoase in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region, where he joined officials from UNICEF Ghana and the Births and Deaths Registry to raise awareness about the importance of registering children at birth.
He explained that artistes wield significant influence and should leverage platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram to amplify important social initiatives and encourage behavioural change.
The musician, who has partnered UNICEF Ghana on several child-focused campaigns, said he had a special interest in issues affecting children and was committed to supporting efforts that improved their welfare and future opportunities.
He noted that birth registration was critical because it established a child’s legal identity and ensured recognition as a Ghanaian citizen.
The advocacy drive forms part of UNICEF Ghana’s efforts to improve birth registration rates across the country through community engagements, public education and collaboration with traditional authorities.
The musician said he remained focused on creating quality music while continuing to support social causes that contribute to national development, particularly initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children. –GNA
