Fast rising singers John Blaq and Daddy Andre dominated nominations for probably the only remaining authentic music awards – Zzina, with each scooping six and five nods apiece of the 17 up for grabs.
The full list of the Zzina Awards 2018/19 nominees, now back for the sixth edition was released during their launch party on March 5 at Club Amnesia.
Other artistes nominated include Spice Diana, Lydia Jasmine, Jose Chameleone and Ykee Benda among others.
The most notable absentee is ‘Silent Minority’ boss, Bebe Cool. The ‘Kamwako’ singer last year released over 17 songs, but not even his fans group, Gagamel Phamily could not make the list for ‘Fans Team of the Year.’
Zzina Awards are organized by local radio station Galaxy Fm with a motive of recognizing and appreciating different artistes, who outshine others in the various music sectors in a particular year. The awards ceremony is due March 22 at Theatre Labonita.
