 United King­dom-based Ghanaian gospel artiste, Shatty Char­lotte, has said that winning an award does not make one the best among the lot, rath­er, it only appreci­ates the fact that one’s hard work has been recognised.

The gospel artiste who recently won Best Gospel Artiste in the Dias­pora at the 2022 Western Gospel Music Awards noted that as a budding ar­tiste whose works of art like writing songs starts from a small corner of her kitchen when cooking or pray­ing at midnight, winning an award recognises this hard work.

Speaking to The Spectator, she further said, the award also creates a platform to connect a musician’s work to others through ministration.
