Lynx Entertainment signee, Maya Blu has expressed her aspiration of winning the GMA UK Awards she has been nominated for, adding that her speech for the D-day is waiting patiently to be released.
When asked why the energy she was known for at the beginning of her career had depreciated to some point, Maya pointed out “Actually, I just feel like slowing down just a little bit for personal reasons. There is nothing bothering me; I’m really having fun.”
In an interview with Chrystal Kwame-Aryee on Showbiz 360, the Ghanaian musician indicated that her career is gradually giving her recognition and she regards the entire journey as an exciting one; hoping to bag an award at the Ghana Music Awards, UK having been nominated in the category of ‘Uncovered Artist of the year’ and deliver a befitting speech, should that happen.

“Right now, people are getting to know me and I’m getting to know them as well. I’m going places and getting nominations. The journey is so fun… (speaking on award speech)I’m saving it for later when I finally win the GMA UK Award; very soon in October,” she said in absolute optimism.
Moving on to talk about her yet-to-release EP, the songstress noted that one of the singles on it that has been dropped ahead of time is making waves.
“‘Just Blue On It’ is an EP of 5 tracks. They are 5 dope tracks; you’ll love it. We have the lovey-dovey ones, the danceable ones and the normal ones we can all jam to. ‘Talk Too Much’ is off the EP and it’s already out; very beautiful visuals. It’s been just 9 days and it has over 500K views,” she stated.
She continued, “We released ‘Talk Too Much’ first because ‘Sho’ did very well and we want to keep people dancing. With the lovey-dovey ones, I want to show the other side of me that I can really sing. When you listen to ‘Antidote’, ‘Owner’ and then even ‘Change Over’, you’ll hear some good vocals on there.”
Wrapping up on the conversation, Maya Blu shared her take on why she believes her music is doing well in the Ghanaian music space.
According to her, “I think I’m working hard and the team is supporting me. They are also working extremely hard to make sure that things are put in place. The future’s so bright and I can’t wait to see it.”

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.
This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.
She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.
Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.
Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.
This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.
Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.
It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.
The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.
The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.
Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has passed on Saturday August 12, 2026.
She was 63.
The news of her demise flashed through social media on Saturday, prompting an outpouring of grief from musicians, fans and members of the Christian community, who have since paid tribute to her distinguished career.
She gained strong reputation as a singer, songwriter and minister whose music transcended generations.
Some of her popular songs include ‘Kaa She Gbeyei,’ ‘It’s By Grace,’ ‘Nyame Kokroko’ and ‘N’adom Ara Kwa.’
Her contribution to the growth of gospel music in Ghana was recognised in 2009 when she won the Best Female Vocal Performance and Songwriter of the Year awards at the Ghana Music Awards, now known as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards.
Beyond music, Mrs Offei distinguished herself in academia and professional life. She attended Achimota School before earning an MPhil in Crop Science from the University of Ghana and a Master’s Degree in Information Technology from University College London in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Offei was married to Prof. Samuel Kwame Offei, a former Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and the couple had two children.
Her death comes days after she was reported missing but was later found safe.
Mrs Offei leaves behind a rich music legacy that continues to inspire faith, hope and resilience among generations of listeners. -GNA
