Lauren Akosia Lands Dual Nominations at Ghana Music Awards UK & USA
Actress, musical artist, and DJ Lauren Akosia has captured another major international milestone, securing nominations for both the Ghana Music Awards UK (GMAUK) and the Ghana Music Awards USA.
The achievement firmly establishes the Mr Loverman (BBC One) star as a rising force in the global electronic and Afro-house music landscape as public voting prepares to close this Tuesday night, 20 October 2026.
Following the global momentum of her collaborative single “Let It Go,” Akosia has been nominated for UK-Based New Artiste of the Year at the 2026 GMAUK, mirroring her recent international nod for Best International Act at the GMA USA chapter.
The dual nominations mark a high-powered expansion for the London-born, Mountview-trained artist. Having already proven her dramatic calibre on mainstream British television, Akosia has taken full creative control of her trajectory, scaling her presence as a self-produced artist and live DJ to an international level. By merging the narrative, cinematic depth of her acting background with her instincts behind the decks, deep electronic breakbeats, and South African Afro-house syncopations, she has engineered a distinct global brand entirely on her own terms.
The announcement comes on the heels of her empowering standalone electronic anthem, “It’s Time,” a track widely praised for its motivational scale, rich vocal layers, and dynamic production. By operating fluidly across international borders as a musician and selector, Akosia is redefining the framework for modern multi-hyphenate performers.
