Award-winning gospel musician Diana Hamilton has made history at the 22nd Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).
She won the biggest award on the night, the coveted Artiste of the Year Award beating off competition from a list dominated by secular artistes.
Her song ‘Adom’ also bagged the most popular song of the year award at the event which was held at the Accra International Conference Center.
Day Two of the awards night started on Saturday June 26 and ended in the wee hours of Sunday, June 27.
She is the first female gospel musician to be named artiste of the year, the first gospel Artiste to win the accolade was Joe Mettle in 2017.
An elated Diana Hamilton thanked God and all industry players and well wishers who propelled her song ‘Adom’ to achieve the current historic feat.
