Why I Don’t File For VGMA Nominations – Wiyala opens up (VIDEO)
Ghanaian singer and songwriter Noella Wiyaala professionally known as Wiyaala has opened up on what accounts for her not participating in the VGMAs.
In an interview with Prince Hamdam Banang on his ‘North Podcast’ show, she explained she has not been filing for nominations because she feels like her kind of music or the audience appeal does not always meet the criteria spelled out by the organizers of the awards scheme.
The contemporary songstress underscored that she doesn’t have any problem with the awards scheme or its organizers like many might have perceived from afar, the aforementioned point is the reason she has not been participating.
“I don’t have a problem with VGMA, because, of course, I read their terms and conditions. It is an organization to award and the award has rules and regulations and when I feel like no, I have not met these. ..the song has to be played on all radio stations around the country for a certain number of times….” she said.
