    Organisers set for the 8th Beatz Awards in Lagos

    The eighth edition of The Beatz Awards will accommodate more underserved individuals in the music ecosystem, the Founder, Elijah John, has said.

    John gave the assurance in a statement in Lagos on Friday.

    The Beatz Awards is a Nigerian awards music show introduced in November 2015 by Eliworld International Ltd. to recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements of the creative minds behind music production, business and distribution.

    John, also the Chief Executive Officer of Eliworld International Ltd., said that the eighth edition tagged: `The Octave’, would feature a new category called the Female Producer of the Year.

    According to him, the category makes the edition unique.

    “This is the first of its kind in the industry as we have quite a number of female producers in this industry.

    “We want to be the first to push this narrative while making sure that they are properly recognised.

    “From inception, we have had the female DJ category, but did not have a category for female producers.

    “Some of them might not be as big as you expect them to be, but because they are in that space already, this award shines a spotlight on them and would encourage others to begin to come out,” he said.

    John said that the nominees’ party for the awards would take place on Oct. 28 while the awards would hold on Nov. 18 at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos.

    “There are 25 different categories, and the minimum number of nominees in each of the categories is five.

    “While the awards are also now open to public voting for people to vote their favourites, the selection process was rigorous because everybody shortlisted in each category is a winner.

    “Opening the winner up to public voting is in a bid to try to involve consumers of the music in the process,’’ he said.

    John condemned discrimination in the music industry, saying that it hindered growth.

    “We have to all come together in order to move the narrative forward, and to ensure the Nigerian music scene is globally accepted.

    “Both the music producers and the artistes have to come together to grow. Global attention is good, but we must keep developing,” he said.

    Davido, DJ Lambo, Cohbams Asuquo and others won awards in different categories at the seventh edition of the Beatz Awards held at Muson Centre, Lagos, in November 2022.

    Hip-hop star, Davido, won the best songwriter award, while Disc Jockey (DJ), Olawunmi Okerayi, emerged the best female DJ of the year for the second consecutive year.

    Music producer, Cobhams Asuquo, was honoured with lifetime achievement award.

    Blaise Beat won the producer of the year award.

    Silverbird Television won the best entertainment television station of the year award and MTV Base emerged the entertainment cable of the year.

    2021 GRAMMY Awards winner, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, alongside Johnny Drille, DJ DSF, Simi and Davido have been nominated for The Beatz Awards 2022.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that nominations for 2022 annual The Beatz Awards have been announced with many of Nigerians’ favourite celebs listed.

    The Beatz Awards celebrates the creative minds behind music production, business and distribution.

    Elijah John, Chief Executive Officer of Beatz Awards, commented on the awards night, explaining that the company goes beyond simply presenting prizes to individuals. He went on to say that the brand does not just seek to give out awards, but recognises the work that those behind the scenes put in and do not get their due credit for a job well done.

    According to the organizers, the winners will be announced on November 19, at the prestigious Shell Zenith Bank Hall Muson Centre, Onikan Lagos. The red carpet will begin at 5 P.M, followed by the main program at 6 P.M.
