The awards platform was created by Ghana-based Smart Focus Media to recognize outstanding achievements by African artists while promoting African music globally.

In its first year, the awards platform has received worldwide recognition, as it honours the notable musical accomplishments of Africa’s musicians while promoting the continent as a global music destination.
