The year 2024 marks another major stride in the career of Ghanaian gospel powerhouse Teddy OT, as he earns a prestigious nomination for Afro Pop Artist of the Year at the CLIMA Africa Awards — standing shoulder to shoulder with continental heavyweights like Ada Ehi, Frank Edwards, Prinx Emmanuel, and KS Bloom.
This nomination comes after his previous 2023 CLIMA Africa Awards nod for “Africa Rising Star of the Year,” where he gained continental attention for his bold blend of Afrobeat rhythms and gospel influence.
Though he didn’t win that year, Teddy OT’s consistency, hard work, and musical evolution have now elevated him to compete among Africa’s elite artists in 2024.
Teddy OT’s journey in music is one marked by excellence and resilience. Beyond being an artist, he has been twice awarded Manager of the Year at the Ghana Urban Gospel Awards, recognized two years in a row for his outstanding leadership and creative direction in shaping Ghana’s gospel music industry.
Having managed and mentored several artists successfully, he is now at the forefront of his own musical mission, pushing his personal brand and message to greater heights.
From his breakout hit “Asafo Yehowah (The Lord of Hosts)” to recent singles that merge spirituality with modern Afro pop flair, Teddy OT continues to embody a refreshing sound that bridges faith and culture.
His nomination for Afro Pop Artist of the Year not only celebrates his artistry but also represents a victory for Ghana’s gospel and Afro fusion community on the continental stage.
Fans and supporters are eagerly soliciting votes to help bring home his first major continental award.
If Teddy OT wins, it would be a historic achievement for Ghana, shining a light on the country’s growing impact in the Afro gospel and inspirational music scene.
As anticipation builds for the CLIMA Africa Awards, one thing remains clear — Teddy OT’s rise is unstoppable, and his journey continues to inspire a new generation of gospel and Afrobeat artists across Africa and beyond.
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.
