Managing Director of MultiChoice Ghana, Cecil Sunkwa-Mills in his speech said “the addition of this will not only open a window for us to showcase the rich Music, Art, Culture and lifestyle trends from Ghana to the World, but will also cement Ghana’s position as a cultural hub in the sub region.”

Stakeholders in the Music industry who attended the launch event commended MultiChoice and TRACE for launching this channel on the heels of the successful ‘Year Of Return’ initiative. The President of the Creative Arts Council Mark Okraku Mantey urged creatives to ensure their works edify the country’s enviable positive reputation.
