Ghanaian actor James Gardner has described dancehall artiste Stonebwoy as one with a lot of international appeals and therefore believes he can promote Ghana on the international stage.

The BET award winner lost out to EL on the Artiste of the Year award at the recently organised Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).

He was highly tipped to scoop that particular award though he walked away with the Best Reggae Artiste of the Year.

In an exclusive interview with TV3 Network.com, James Gardner said Stonebwoy’s international appeal is one which puts him amongst the best and puts Ghana high on the globe.

“Stonebwoy is really waving the flag of Ghana high having gone on tour with Grammy award winning group Morgan Heritage and it’s too much.

“They go on stage and introduce him as a ‘Ghana boy’ and you know it’s very difficult to penetrate into a click like that especially in Jamaica.

He explained that Jamaica is very stereotype “and if you are not Jamaican, your music can’t cross over but here is a man who is winning BET awards, going on tour with Morgan Heritage and he is doing well”.
