It’s time for music’s biggest night! The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is almost here and the host for the main show which comes off on Saturday, May 18th, 2019 has been announced and it’s non other than EIB’s own, Kofi Okyere Darko (K.O.D)

Ace broadcaster and host of Starr Drive on Starr 103.5 FM, K.OD, will be hosting the special 20th edition of the VGMA’S.

Speaking to starrfm.com.gh KOD an excited KOD said:

“I think 20’years is a big celebration and getting those who were part of it from day one is a step in the right direction. Good news is we’re all still around and jointly sharing that stage and our stories from the last 20 years would also enhance the event. Ghanaians should expect fabulously fun moments when I get on.”

KOD’s selection as the host for the special 20th edition comes as no surprise as he has played pivotal roles in the success of the awards scheme over the years, right from its inception in 1999.

KOD served on the selection committee right from its foundation. He was also for a few years the producer of the Ghana Music Awards countdown radio show as well as the first ever red carpet show host.

He added “I started from being part of the selection committee, first red carpet host, hosted the GMA countdown on TV, industry awards, the main event and now a member of the academy.”

It would be no surprise however if personalities like Kwame Sefa Kayi, Doreen Andoh, etc who were highly involved in the success of the show right from the beginning are brought on the august stage since the show is celebrating milestone.
