Project Fame Winners Storm Ghana

This weekend, winners of the three editions of MTN Project Fame West Africa will head to Accra, Ghana, to participate in the 2011 edition of the popular Ghana Music Awards.

Iyanya (2008 winner), Mike Anyasodo (2009 winner) and Chidinma Ekile (2010 winner), will depart Lagos on Friday, making their first group trip to Ghana.

Sources say the three acts will participate in different ways in the awards ceremony organised by CharterHouse Ghana.

“It’s part of plans to expose and empower our talents,” a spokesperson for the show’s producers told P.M. Entertainment.

Since wining PF in 2008, Iyanya has been to the New York Fashion Week, he has performed across the length and breadth of Nigeria and collaborated with several top acts.

Mike is enjoying the benefits of his debut and has won many awards including a Best Video prize from Soundcity Music Video Awards, while Chidinma, the current winner, has been busy recording and working with her management to deliver her debut album.

The trip to Ghana, according to Iyanya, is not just to attend the awards. “We’re happy to be spending time together, as one family and also may take this time to hit the studios and do something

together.”

The group will also spend some time with past PFWA Ghanaian finalists, Nii, Kojo and Kesse.

The Ghana Music Awards, according to the artistes’ minders, is not the only event the trio will attend as a group this year.

Ghana Music Awards holds tomorrow at the Conference Centre (The Dome) and Nigerian nominees include Asa and Wande Coal.
