The Guinness Ghana DJ Awards powered by Smirnoff are in full swing this year, and the awards board is pleased to announce that Naa Ayele Ardayfio, a seasoned DJ and presenter, will receive the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award.

This announcement follows the event’s tremendous success last year, as Guinness Ghana continues its commitment to celebrating and empowering Ghana’s vibrant DJ community.

Naa Ayele Ardayfio’s journey began in 1998 at Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), where she began her National Service.

She quickly learned the craft of DJing because of her love for music and broadcasting, and by 2002, she was one of only three female DJs in Ghana.

During her time at GBC, she co-hosted “Music For You” on GTV with Timothy Quashigah, winning over viewers all over the country with her charm and musical taste.

Mr. Kwame Adu Gyamfi, a member of the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards board, said of the award, “Her impact on the DJing industry and her pioneering role as one of the few female DJs in Ghana make her a fitting recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award.”

“Especially at a time when we are promoting inclusion and diversity in the Disc Jockey business, Naa Ayele Ardayfio’s journey from GBC studios to becoming a household name exemplifies resilience and dedication,” he said.

This year’s theme, “United By Music,” emphasizes how music has the ability to unite people by bridging divides and promoting a sense of oneness.

Guinness Ghana’s commitment to fostering diversity and showcasing the variety of talents present in the Ghanaian music industry is reflected in this subject.

The 2024 event, which is sponsored by Guinness Ghana, Ghana’s top beverage company overall, has solidified its position as a major event for the advancement of music and disc jockeying.

The awards event, which will take place on November 25, 2024, at the esteemed Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Centre, will feature a wide range of acts and celebration.

In addition to Electroland Ghana Limited (EGL), Korba, Franko Trading Enterprise, Compu-Ghana, Ezzy Grab GH, Whatsup TV, Dennis Pizza, and the Ghana Library Authority as sponsors, the 2024 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards is powered by Smirnoff.

The Awards Board votes to bestow this special honor award on DJs who have made very significant artistic contributions to the entertainment and music marketing fields throughout their lives.

It honors people who have demonstrated tenacity, commitment, and a pioneering attitude, providing motivation for upcoming DJ generations.
