One major problem of the annual Ghana Music Awards Festival since its inception is overcrowding at its venue. Whenever overcrowding occurs, security becomes porous; this offers unscrupulous chaps the oppportunity to get involved in several vices.
To check overcrowding at the venue come April 14, several measures have been put in place.
According to the Public Relations Manager of Charter House, Juno Abena Dadson, this year they intend to control the crowd at the Dome during the GMA, so that the few who make their way there can enjoy themselves and increase the experience.
This she said to justify the price increment of this year’s event.

Prestigious Ghanaian based Events and Marketing firm Black Avenue Works are all set to roll out the 10 – city nationwide music tour festival dubbed ‘THE BIG SIX TOUR’ in September this year under the theme ‘The Big Six for Peaceful, Free & Fair Elections’.

On this tour, six of Ghana’s most commercially successful hiphop & hiplife acts will represent the Big Six by performing live in concert in 10 selected cities in Ghana.
This nationwide tour would be geared towards preaching and promoting to the youth the essence of voting and ensuring a peaceful electoral process come December 2012’s Presidential elections via musical concerts and symposia.
Six artists have been slated to headline this soon to be historic music tour from September to November this year. These artists represent various clans and tribes, make music in various dialects but are all Ghanaian by blood and birth.
Ghana DJ Awards Launched!
Over the weekend, at the luxurious African Regent Hotel in Accra, the Ghana DJ Awards was officially launched at a well attended – strictly by invitation- press conference.
Early this year, the news about an Awards ceremony aimed at rewarding Ghanaian DJ’s was received with mixed feelings. The trouble of recognizing the essence of the awards ceremony had nothing to do with its significance rather its seriousness. Most people who spoke openly about the awards just after the news was made public cited similar awards which did not last its announcement as bases for contemplating on its realness.
Then came in the DJ’s for whom the awards were instituted to reward. Whereas some were excited about the recognition alone, others swept it under the carpet for being another story just to titillate them.
Eazzy Says “Record Labels Are Cheats …”!
First lady of Lynx Entertainment, Eazzy says that record labels are cheats. She didn’t leave out her fellow artistes either as she used her Twitter account to label them as being ungrateful.
She tweeted “Record Labels R Cheats, Artistes R Ungrateful”. Perhaps it took Eazzy so long to come to the realisation that musicians are very ungrateful, since that’s an established fact.
The rapport between artistes and record labels have always been just like two lovers who shower love on each other when they meet but change midway in the relationship.

Motivational Message Of The Week: How Positivity Pays In Life
The concept of being positive and wishing for positive things is widely misunderstood. Even though positivity pays and being positive about things is recommendable, simply wishing for positive things without doing anything will not bring you anything. In fact, it may bring you negativity-disappointment.
On the other hand, spending a great number of hours worrying about what you do not want, or do not want to happen to you does not stop that thing from occurring. It is believed that, the more you spend your time and energy thinking and worrying about what you do not want, the more you give it power and increases the possibility of it occurring in your life.
As human beings, it is easily to fall into the deep pit of wishing without doing anything. Simply wishing or thinking about positivity will not bring it, however, thinking about not wanting the negativity gives it a great possibility of it happening, not fair right?
