TV in Accra and even more popular outside Accra. Mary stated that if the VGMA is based on

popularity, then she would surely win award or more this year.

She said she performed on several shows and in churches nationwide within the year.

Mary Owusu further expressed her feelings should in case she wins an award “Eii my brother I

will be very happy, I will be grateful to God because it is His will for me to get the

nomination/award.” She expressed her joy should in case her song or album wins her an award

at this year’s VGMAs because it will be her first award or nomination in her 12 year music

career.

followed up with another one which took Ghana by surprise in 2012 titled “Ahitophel agyenayuo

nu aye kwa” and in 2015 she released another ground breaking hit which she calls “Onyame

beye ne dwuma”.

Currently Mary has three successful albums to her credit but has no award or nomination to that

effect.

she released her first two albums that’s “Holy Ghost fire” and Ahitophel agyenayuo nu aye kwa”

she had no one to push and submit her songs for award nominations.

“No, I have never been nominated or won any award in my career because I have not had

anyone to handle that aspect of my career but with my current album my new management is

taking care of that.”

because a lot of things have changed in terms of structures.
