People eager to learn who was going to grab the video of the year honour in the Nyasa Music Awards rested on an unexpected conclusion as two artist shared the accolade.
Reggae dancehall starlet Purple C and multi-award winning artist Tay Grin, refused to let go of the glory for each other. Given the high quality of videos in the slot, voters had a headache as regards to which visuals to vote for.
The two videos which have been recognized are Good Life by Purple and Grin’s 21. Both were locally produced.
In a related development, Sukez of HD Plus Creations continues his dominance in local awards having been recognised as the best video director, once again.
Other winners are Lawi whose Sunset in the Sky collection earned him the best album award. Nepman won in the best secular artist category while the Black Missionaries Band won in the best reggae slot.
