Cwesi Oteng wins African Artiste of The Year

Contemporary gospel music artiste, Cwesi Oteng, has made Ghana proud by winning the most envious Artiste of the Year (West Africa) and the Male Artiste of the Year at the 2014 African Gospel Music Awards (AGMA).

The Artiste of the Year award is the topmost award of the event and Cwesi has won it twice in a row; the first being at last year’s event.

The AGMA, which took place in London on Sunday August 24, was organised to celebrate the work of the gospel music ministry, showcase talents, innovation and success of our gospel artistes.

AGMA awards African Gospel music artistes whose works qualified for awards after being nominations in the year (April 2013 – April 2014) under review.

The ‘I Win’ hit maker is under the management of the leading multi-purpose entertainment company, BBnZ Live.

“Congratulations Cwesi Oteng on winning Artiste Of the Year and his second West African Artiste Of The Year at the 2014 African Gospel Music Awards. May God continue to bless you,” a statement from the official Instagram page for BBnZ Live read.
