The Entertainment Masters, appreciative of the awards organizers’ initiative to nurture the next generation of talents, have pledged their support to make the “Unsung category” a resounding success. Their commitment to the awards scheme is crucial in ensuring the promotion and recognition of these young talents.
With the inclusion of the “Unsung category” and the enthusiastic support from the participating schools, the Western Music Awards is poised to contribute to the development of the music industry by fostering young talents and providing them with valuable exposure. The upcoming awards ceremony promises to be a celebration of the rich musical heritage of the Western Region and a platform to showcase the immense talent emerging from the region’s senior high schools.
