Asiama Earns First International Nomination
Ghana just gained another rising global name. Asiama has landed a nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2026 Taabea Ghana Music Awards UK. It marks his first international recognition to date.
The tenth edition of the awards lands on 31 October 2026 in London. AfrobeatsGlobal loves seeing Ghanaian talent reach new stages like this one. Born Emmanuel Asiamah Mensah in Kumasi, Asiamah blends alternative R&B, soul, and pop with his Highlife roots.
His voice carries a warmth that has become his signature. That warmth is exactly what earned him a nod at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards too. He walked away with Best Male Vocal Performance after two nominations there.
A Big Year For Asiama’s Music And Story
This nomination arrives alongside his newest single, “No Place.” The track dropped on 3 September 2026 and reflects on his memories of Kumasi. It explores home, relationships, and the pull of a city he still carries with him.
Legendary Ghanaian musician Kwame Yeboah produced the record. Yeboah has worked as musical director for artists including Yusuf, also known as Cat Stevens. “No Place” blends live instrumentation with vocals delivered in both Twi and English.
For Ghanaians living abroad, themes like these often hit differently. Home can stay powerful even when distance changes how people experience it. That connection is part of what makes Asiama’s growing catalogue so compelling to AfrobeatsGlobal readers.
Asiama is managed by Belove Ltd, a creative management company based in London. As his international profile grows, this nomination adds another marker to an already strong year.
