After several postponement of the Ghana DJ Awards, the event which was
originally slated for October 16th 2012, finally took place last weekend
at the National theatre.
The awards didn’t seem well patronized due to insufficient promotion of
the event coupled with the inconvenience fun and patrons faced due to
incessant shifting of the date.
One would have thought the intense social media publicity of the event
could do the trick, but from the way things turned out on the D-day,
organizers will have to revise their notes on publicity next time.
On a night specially dedicated to award DJ’s, one would have expected
to see many of the finest and famous Ghanaian DJ’s throne the venue to
grace the occasion, but the story is rather turned out very
disappointing when a lot of the VIP seats stayed empty throughout the
show.
The likes of DJ Black, Nii Aryee Tagoe, DJ Mens and a whole lot were all missed at the event.
On the other hand, many of these very respected DJs did the exact
opposite of what fans expected of them by not showing up and making
unconstructive criticisms of the event.
The time factor also seemed very disappointed and nothing good to write
home about. A show which was scheduled to begin at 7pm, got delayed for
about 3 hours.
Also most of the fans were not happy with the award given to a few
DJ’s, especially the female DJ of the year award which went to Jessica
of Citi Fm, should have been awarded to DJ Kess of YFM as most stated.
Without being too hard on the organizers, The maiden edition of GHANA
DJ AWARDS was fairly a good start. One hopes more effort would be put in
upcoming editions.
