[PHOTOS]: JOE METTLE SETS NEW VGMA RECORD AS ARTISTE OF THE YEAR

Gospel icon Joe Mettle has managed to erase the accepted convention that the VGMA’s “Artist of the year” prize is the preserve of the secular musicians.


Joe Mettle was pronounced the overall Artist Of The Year in the in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards that took off on Saturday night.

He wrestled for the title against very formidable contenders like EL, Sarkodie, Medikal, Stonebwoy, and MzVee.

Joe Mettle winning the ultimate prize automatically puts his name on the history sheet as no Gospel artist has ever made it to that pedestal for the past seventeen years.

In addition, Joe also stamped his authority on the Gospel Artist of the year and the Best Male Vocalist awards; making home with a total of three awards.

Joe Mettle has bagged a lot of success this year. Recently, he was crowned the gospel artist of the year at the Ghana Music Honours.
