Entertainment Week Ghana 2026 kicks off with second Creative Economy Incubator

 

Entertainment Week Ghana has officially kicked off its 2026 edition with the return of its

Creative Economy Incubator and Deal Room for a second year, continuing its mission

to connect Ghana’s creative industries with business, technology, capital and

institutional support.

Following its inaugural edition in 2025, Entertainment Week Ghana is returning with an

expanded programme spanning entrepreneurship, investment, music, fashion, film,

visual arts and live experiences. The 2026 edition will include the Creative Economy

Incubator and Deal Room, Entertainment Week Ghana Summit, an art exhibition in

partnership with Sankofa Gallery, the second edition of Atalé and the return of Airwaves.

The Creative Economy Incubator was introduced during the first Entertainment Week

Ghana to identify and support entrepreneurs building businesses, technology and

solutions for the creative industries. The inaugural programme attracted more than 50

submissions, with Seudio emerging as the winner and receiving GHS 50,000 to support

the development of its business.

For its second edition, the Incubator and Deal Room will continue connecting selected

entrepreneurs with expertise, mentorship and opportunities across technology, artificial

intelligence, finance, legal, monetisation, business development and investment.

Partners supporting the wider Incubator and Deal Room ecosystem include Paystack,

WeWire and Google, bringing technology and business expertise into the programme.

The initiative reflects Entertainment Week Ghana’s broader ambition to move the

conversation around Ghanaian creativity beyond talent and visibility towards the

businesses, infrastructure, technology and capital required to build a sustainable

creative economy.

Building on the inaugural Entertainment Week Ghana

Entertainment Week Ghana launched in 2025 as a multi-day platform connecting

Ghana’s music, fashion, film, art and wider creative industries with business,

investment and institutional support. The inaugural edition received backing from the

Ghana Tourism Authority, Black Star Experience, National Film Authority and Ministry

of Youth Development and Empowerment, with Konica Minolta serving as a major sponsor.

 Strategic collaborators included Ashesi Student Council, Bravado, Akuna Pod and Lynx Entertainment. The

official launch brought together figures from government, entertainment and the wider

creative sector, including Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment George

Opare-Addo and media personality Abeiku Santana, signalling the platform’s intention

to connect creatives with institutions, policymakers and business leaders.

The inaugural Entertainment Week Ghana Summit subsequently brought some of

Ghana’s most influential creative and business voices into one space. Participants

included internationally recognised Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama, AfroFuture CEO

Abdul Karim Abdullah, GUBA Enterprise CEO Dentaa Amoateng, Rex Omar, Jewel

Thompson and other industry leaders.

Executives and representatives connected to major global brands including Hennessy

and Diageo also participated, bringing the corporate and commercial side of the creative

economy into conversations around the future of Ghanaian entertainment and culture.

Atalé brings fashion, culture and nightlife together 

Fashion became another major pillar of the inaugural edition through the Atalé Fashion

Party, which brought designers, personalities and cultural figures together for a different

approach to presenting African fashion. The programme featured brands and designers

including Christie Brown, Free The Youth, Bloom by Edzi, Kula Perry and Atto Andoh,

alongside personalities including Salma Mumin, Mauli Gavor and Nana Akua Addo.

Jamaican dancehall icon Beenie Man also attended the event.

Hosted at Treehouse in Accra, Atalé was positioned as more than a conventional

runway show, bringing fashion into conversation with music, nightlife, personalities and

contemporary African culture. The format forms part of Entertainment Week Ghana’s

wider strategy of developing individual cultural properties that can grow independently

while remaining connected to the larger creative-economy platform.

Airwaves expands the platform into music and live experiences

Music was represented through the inaugural Airwaves Beach Festival at SI Beach,

staged in partnership with Lynx Entertainment. The programme combined live music

and DJ performances with producer-led sessions, wellness activities, masterclasses

and wider industry conversations, creating an experience that connected entertainment

with professional and cultural development.

Ibiza 233 Festival is bringing the spirit of Ibiza to Accra this December

 

A new festival experience is coming to Accra as Ibiza 233 Festival takes over GHUD

Park on 30 December 2026, bringing together music, food, drinks, games, fashion,

entertainment and culture for a full-day experience.

Inspired by the carefree energy and social spirit associated with Ibiza, the festival brings

that sense of escape to the 233 reimagined with a distinctly Ghanaian flavour.

This is not simply a concert. It is the whole experience. From daytime into the evening,

festival-goers can expect live performances, DJs, food and drinks, games, fashion,

interactive experiences and spaces created for people to meet, connect and enjoy

themselves beyond the main stage.

Ibiza 233 is designed to be as much about what happens around you as what happens

on stage.

MORE THAN A PARTY

Food vendors, drinks brands, fashion and product businesses, creatives and other

experiences will form part of the festival, creating a space where entertainment, lifestyle,

culture and community come together. Media houses, bloggers, photographers,

videographers and content creators are also invited to document the inaugural Ibiza 233

Festival.

UWA Captures the Rush of Falling in Love on New Single “Fallin”

 

The emerging artist delivers a melodic and
emotionally charged record about vulnerability,
attraction, and giving in to feelings.
Emerging artist UWA is set to release “Fallin,” a
smooth and emotionally resonant new single
that explores the intoxicating feeling of catching
feelings and slowly surrendering to someone
who has captured your attention.

Produced around warm, atmospheric sonics and
infectious melodies, “Fallin” finds UWA in a
vulnerable space, reflecting on the uncertainty
that comes with developing genuine feelings.
The song captures that moment when attraction
begins to evolve into something deeper—when
keeping your emotions in check becomes
increasingly difficult and falling for someone
starts to feel inevitable.

Rather than presenting love as perfectly
straightforward, UWA embraces the tension that
comes with it. “Fallin” explores the excitement,
vulnerability, and uncertainty of opening yourself
up to another person while knowing there is
always the possibility of getting hurt.

UWA's melodic delivery gives the record an 

intimate quality, allowing the emotion behind the

lyrics to sit comfortably alongside the song's

laid-back, contemporary production. The result

is a record that feels equally suited to late-night

listening, romantic moments, and those quiet

moments when you're trying to make sense of

your feelings.

At its core, “Fallin” is about losing control in the

best possible way—the realization that you've

become emotionally invested before you even

realize how deeply you've fallen.

The single also introduces another layer to

UWA's artistic identity, showcasing an ability to

create music that is emotionally accessible

while maintaining a distinct sonic character.

With its infectious melodies, relatable subject

matter, and effortless replay value, “Fallin” is

positioned to connect with listeners across the

Afrobeats and Afro-R&B space.

As UWA continues to build momentum and

establish a sound of his own, “Fallin” represents

a confident step forward—one that puts

emotion, melody, and storytelling at the center of

the experience.

Beyond Brand Influence: How African creators are shaping policy and governance – the role of Influencer Africa

 

For a long time, people thought African digital creators were just here to sell products

for brands. But as the first-ever Africa Mindset Reset Forum opens today in Kigali,

Rwanda, things are changing. Digital creators are no longer just making

advertisements, they are helping to make important rules and shape the future of the

continent.

To make sure young people have a voice in these big decisions, Influencer Africa

collaborated with the African School of Governance (ASG) to bring the crucial voices of

new media directly into the conversation.

Giving Young People a Seat at the Table

The event, hosted by ASG, takes place from August 25 to August 26, 2026. Prominent

African statesmen and policymakers are in attendance, including Rwandan President

Paul Kagame and former South African President Thabo Mbeki.

But the organizers made a very important choice: 80% of the people at this forum are

young leaders.

Through this partnership, Influencer Africa is helping to make this goal a reality. The 34

creators they helped bring to Kigali are not just there to take photos or make simple

videos. They are there to speak up, share the real struggles of young Africans, and

explain hard political topics to millions of followers back home.

For a long time, young Africans have been left out of the big decisions, says Israel

Laryea, Executive Head of Influencer Africa. By bringing these 34 talented creators to

Kigali, we are making sure our youth are not just listening, but are actively helping to

build the Africa we all want to see. They are the true voice of the present.

The Creatorthon: Preparing for a Mindset Shift

This collaboration started before the main forum even began. To set the stage,

Influencer Africa hosted a special "Creatorthon." This was an intimate, highly

interactive session that brought the creators face-to-face with ASG leaders and forum

speakers.

The Creatorthon was designed as a two-way street. It successfully prepped the creators

for the heavy policy discussions ahead, but more importantly, it gave the leaders a

chance to sit back and listen. During this session, the Creators shared their own

grassroots experiences and outlined their unique contributions to driving a real mindset

shift among the African youth.

From Just Talking to Taking Action

The main goal of the forum is to change how Africans think. It is about moving away

from just talking about unity, and starting to build real solutions that work.

For these digital creators, this is already how they live. The internet does not have

borders, and they know how to work together across different countries. While this

historic delegation features creators from 12 specific countries, their digital reach

extends far beyond that—spanning across the entire continent and deep into the global

diaspora.

This curated group ensures full representation from every corner of the continent: North,

West, Central, East, and South Africa, successfully bridging the gap between

Anglophone and Francophone communities. Creators such as Emilien Bejuandem

Tengungwoh, KALIGBE Roxane lidwine, and Frederique ange Karell Dablé are standing

shoulder-to-shoulder with policymakers. They are joined by vibrant storytellers like

Meryem Belkihel, Kemigisha Fiona, Alum Scova, and Turamuhawe Christine Joy, who

are bringing unique regional perspectives to the table. Also lending their massive digital

weight to these critical governance discussions are Léna Habib Mbaye, Redemptha W.

Nsanzugwanko, Eyoel Abrham Talargie, Theshaya Naidoo, and Aissata Esperanca Sy.

Representing the entrepreneurial drive of the youth are Susan Mwongeli Munguti,

Iremide Adeoye, Abdelbasset Manfouchi, Joshua Boye-Doe, and Mahder Pawlos wako.

Alongside them, visionaries like Banele Rewo, Kennedy Odhiambo, Vanessa Zuba

Mutesi, Sara Sitr, and Tito HARERIMANA are actively translating these high-level talks

into everyday digital language for their audiences. Rounding out this powerhouse team

are Solange NISHIMWE, John Seyiram Kofi Amegatse, Emmanuel Kumah Abronyeh,

Ejemeka Obisinachi, Natasha Smith, Funmilayo Safi, and Darina Kayumba—each

proving that the youth are ready to take charge of the continent  narrative.

Westhanboyz back with a new chune NITRO.

Westhanboyz are an Afrobeats duo from Port Harcourt, Nigeria now making moves from

Lagos whose music was never meant to stay quiet. What started as freestyle sessions

during their early school days quickly became something far more intentional by two young

men from the south of Nigeria realizing they had more to say than words alone could carry.

The sound is a careful balance of wavy and rooted, melodic and honest, traditional in spirit

but limitless in range. Drawing inspiration from their Southern Nigerian heritage and

influenced by artists like Burna Boy and Drake musical impact. Westhanboyz craft music

that lives at the intersection of emotion, rhythm and raw truth. It speaks to the highs and

the random fluffs of life with equal heart.

With notable tracks like Highway, Diallo and Red Line already finding their way into the

hearts of listeners. The real confirmation came when fans began repeating their lyrics back

which has turned their music into a source of healing, clarity and connection.

Westhanboyz are building more than a catalog they’re building a movement rooted in

identity, emotion, and connection. As they continue to push beyond the boundaries of

Afrobeats, the duo remains committed to telling their story on their own terms and creating

music that resonates far beyond where it began. Their sound is distinct, but their ambition

is global.

Kay Kamz makes her mark with three 2026 Emerit Music Awards nominations

Ghanaian singer-songwriter, Kay Kamz has been nominated in three categories at

the 2026 Emerit Music Awards: “Discover Artist of the Year”, “New Artist of the Year”

and “Artist of the Year”.

The triple nomination marks another significant milestone in the young artist’s career

as she continues to establish herself as one of the exciting new voices in

contemporary Afro music.

Born Kate Addai Mununkum in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents, Kay Kamz draws

inspiration from both her Ghanaian heritage and European upbringing. Her music

blends Afrobeats, Highlife, Afropop and Afro-soul, creating a distinctive sound rooted

in heartfelt storytelling and expressive vocals. Her songs explore themes of love,

personal growth and human connection, resonating with audiences through

authenticity and emotion.

Kay Kamz introduced herself as a recording artist with her debut project, “The Love

Partner” EP, released in April 2022. She continued her artistic growth with the

release of ‘The Way You Love Me’ in 2025, a single that showcased her evolving

songwriting and signature Afro-inspired sound and ‘Hate on Me’ earlier this year.

Reacting to the nominations, Kay Kamz said: “The sound you hear is me. What I

bring on board is me and tweaks from the people around me. I am not only blessed

but also favoured that my sound appeals to the mass. I am honoured to be part of

the awards and to be nominated in these categories. I can’t wait to see what the

future looks like. A special thank you to the people around me who have had an

impact in my musical journey, Emerit and all board directors”.

The Emerit Music Awards continues to spotlight and celebrate the next generation of

musicians shaping Ghana’s dynamic music scene. The awards scheme is dedicated

to recognizing rising Ghanaian creatives who are making notable contributions

across a wide range of musical genres.

With three nominations at this year’s awards, Kay Kamz’s growing impact and

unique artistry continues to position her as one of the promising talents to watch in

the evolving music landscape in Ghana and beyond.

A MOVING BODY OF WORK ROOTED IN RESILIENCE, FAITH, AND PURPOSE

 

Nigerian Afrosoul artist Kendickson unveils Life Series, his most

personal and accomplished body of work to date. More than an album, the eight-track project

is a deeply reflective exploration of struggle, healing, resilience, faith, and hope, transforming

lived experience into a universally relatable soundtrack for anyone navigating life’s defining

seasons.

Following the emotional honesty of his previous project, Love Series, Kendickson expands

his storytelling with a project that chronicles the realities of becoming. Built on Afro-fusion,

Afrosoul, R&B, alternative influences, cinematic production, and introspective songwriting,

Life Series captures the emotional weight of surviving hardship while discovering purpose

beyond it.

The album is drawn directly from Kendickson’s own life. At just twelve years old, his father

suffered a stroke, thrusting the family into years of financial and emotional uncertainty. By

seventeen, his mother had left home, leaving him, as the eldest child, to shoulder

responsibilities far beyond his age. Four years later, the loss of his father became another

defining chapter, deepening both his grief and his dependence on faith. Rather than allowing those experiences to shape his limitations, Kendickson transformed them into the foundation

of his artistry.

Across Life Series, every record represents a chapter of that journey. Opening track “Life”

reflects on growing up in Lagos while chasing a future beyond circumstance. “Kwechiri (No

Gree)” revisits painful family memories, confronting stigma while celebrating resilience and

the triumph of faith over adversity. “God’s Plan” serves as a motivational anthem for

dreamers navigating rejection and delayed success, while “Nobody (Akonuche)” explores

betrayal, discernment, and the difficult lessons learned from both life and the music industry.

As the project unfolds, its emotional tone gradually shifts from survival to restoration.

“Remind Me” embraces forgiveness and healing, while “Exotic” celebrates renewed

confidence through vibrant Afro-fusion rhythms infused with Igbo musical influences.

“Shine” stands as one of the album’s defining moments, a heartfelt prayer from an artist

longing to be seen after years of sacrifice. Closing record “Understand” offers one final

reflection on the personal cost of ambition, acknowledging the delicate balance between

pursuing purpose and preserving relationships.

Sonically, Life Series effortlessly blends Afro-fusion, soul, hip-hop, R&B, alternative music,

cinematic instrumentation, and African rhythmic textures into a cohesive listening

experience. Kendickson’s distinctive vocal tone carries emotionally rich melodies while his

songwriting moves seamlessly between vulnerability, spirituality, philosophy, motivation, and

poetic reflection. Every song feels deeply personal without losing its universal appeal,

creating an album that comforts, challenges, and inspires in equal measure.

Rather than centering itself on suffering, Life Series ultimately celebrates endurance. It

speaks to anyone carrying grief, rebuilding after disappointment, pursuing impossible

dreams, searching for healing, or simply trying to keep moving forward despite life’s

uncertainties. The project reminds listeners that difficult seasons are not permanent, and

that today’s struggles can become tomorrow’s testimony.

The title Life Series reflects Kendickson’s belief that life unfolds in chapters, with every

season shaping the person we eventually become. Where Love Series explored matters of

the heart, Life Series documents the resilience required to survive, evolve, and ultimately

thrive.

Quamel returns with addictive new single ‘Intent’

 

The Afrobeats star’s latest release is pure addiction–a vibe that will keep drawing you in

for more. ‘Intent’ is now available to stream across all major platforms worldwide.

If the likes of ‘WoTo’ and ‘Lisa’ kept you in a daze last year, get ready for something just

as catchy. Quamel builds on the energy of these releases with more sweetness,

opening his 2026 account with a lively love song that invites all to surrender to its

intoxicating rhythms. And the pull is strong with this one.

Produced by SkyBeatz, ‘Intent’ will feel familiar to Afrobeats devotees, but in the best

way possible. It is utterly addictive, with the crooner’s vocals quickly indulging you right

from the start as he seeks to woo the love of his life. Soon enough, you will be belting

out the refrain, “Where my baby dey ah?!” with him–the part that captures his deep,

yearning pulse.

Released under Ryz Music Entertainment, Quamel keeps his momentum across the

years, once again delivering a song that doesn’t just play, but loops in your head long

after the beat fades.

RCee delivers a thriller with new ‘Money Makes The World Go Round’ music video

 

Ghanaian singer-songwriter RCee has released the official music video for his song,

‘Money Makes The World Go Round (MMTWGR),’ delivering a gripping cinematic

experience that blurs the lines between love, crime, and betrayal.

Far from a conventional performance video, ‘Money Makes The World Go Round

(MMTWGR)’ unfolds like a short film. The story follows RCee and his lover as they flee

after making away with a suitcase believed to contain a fortune. With relentless

pursuers closing in, the pair are forced to trust each other while navigating a dangerous

escape.

As the tension builds, the narrative takes an unexpected turn. In a dramatic act of

betrayal, Rcee’s lover abandons him in an attempt to secure the money for herself.

However, the twist arrives moments later when she realizes she has escaped with the

wrong suitcase, proving that greed can cloud judgment and that every decision comes

with consequences.

Directed by Elroy Salam for Amin Studio, the visual combines suspenseful storytelling,

stylish cinematography, and strong performances to create one of RCee most

ambitious music videos to date. The production reflects a growing trend among

Ghanaian artists to elevate music videos beyond traditional performance clips,

embracing film-inspired narratives that deepen audience engagement.

The release continues Rcee’s commitment to delivering immersive visual experiences

that complement his music while expanding his artistic identity.

Maxzy chooses remorse over ego in new track ‘Tell on You’

Maxzy doesn’t succumb to ego on his latest, ‘Tell on You.’ Instead, he strips away the

posturing that often follows breakups to reveal the tenderness of a man confronting his

own mistakes. With sincerity, the crooner lets his guilt take center stage, turning his pain into a moment of raw release. The result is a heartfelt payoff that lands with the words: “Please don’t go and tell on your friend,” a gentle plea for discretion after betrayal.

This context transforms the single from your typical love song into a flawed yet relatable

confession from someone who understands the pain they’ve caused and is ready to

make things right. Maxzy’s delivery unfolds like a late-night confession, carried by an

understated production and mellow vocals that sweetly balance the tension between

regret and self-preservation.

With ‘Tell on You,’ Maxzy reminds listeners that accountability can be just as beautiful

as love itself. He opens an uneasy space that explores what comes after heartbreak:

guilt, regret, and the longing for forgiveness, suggesting that true healing begins with

the courage to admit you were wrong. By the end, listeners don’t just hear the star; they

feel his every word and are left rooting for his redemption.

Keeny Ice and Kwesi Amewuga bring fearless energy on powerful new song ‘Dangerous’

 

Ghanaian rapper, Keeny Ice is turning up the pressure with the release of

‘Dangerous’, an unapologetic new single featuring fellow rap powerhouse Kwesi

Amewuga. Serving as the lead release from his upcoming album “Afro HipHop”, the

record finds both artists delivering fearless verses over a hard-hitting Hip-Hop

production that celebrates resilience, confidence and unwavering self-belief.

On ‘Dangerous’, Keeny Ice makes one thing clear, he has his eyes set on the top,

not just within Ghana’s rap scene but across the African continent. With sharp

lyricism and commanding delivery, he addresses critics and doubters head-on,

making it known that while others may wish for his downfall, he remains focused on

success and determined to keep winning. The song’s central message is simple:

underestimate him at your own risk.

Living up to its title, Keeny Ice embraces the “dangerous” persona as a symbol of

strength and fearlessness, warning that anyone who deliberately crosses his path

should be prepared to face the consequences. It’s a confident declaration from an

artist entering a new chapter with renewed purpose and ambition.

Kwesi Amewuga matches that intensity from the moment he steps onto the record.

The rapper delivers a composed yet commanding verse, speaking on moving with

influential circles, staying true to his own path and succeeding without following the

crowd. Returning later with the signature flow and rhyme patterns that have become

synonymous with his style, he effortlessly switches into Ewe, adding authenticity and

flair while reinforcing themes of success, confidence and living life on his own terms.

Produced by Nexux Beatz and polished through mixing and mastering by Authentic

Mix, ‘Dangerous’ blends gritty rap energy with contemporary Hip-Hop production,

creating an anthem that feels equally suited for the streets and the speakers.

‘Dangerous’ has already garnered over 100,000 plays on Audiomack and multiple

streams across several streaming platforms.

The single also marks another important milestone for Keeny Ice as it comes under

his new distribution partnership with ONErpm, setting the stage for what promises to

be an exciting rollout toward the release of “Afro HipHop”.

With ‘Dangerous’, Keeny Ice and Kwesi Amewuga deliver more than just another

collaboration, they make a statement. It’s bold, uncompromising, and serves as an

exciting preview of what’s to come from “Afro HipHop”.
