The nominations place him among a distinguished group of artistes recognised for their creativity, consistency and contribution to the promotion of Ghanaian music beyond the country’s borders.
This year’s recognition marks a significant step forward for the talented musician, whose journey has been characterised by determination, artistic growth and an unwavering commitment to representing Ghana through Afrobeat. Following previous recognition at the awards, Rebbel Ashes has once again demonstrated that his music continues to resonate with audiences both in Europe and across Africa.
At the 2026 Ghana Music Awards Europe, Rebbel Ashes has been nominated in three competitive categories:
Best Diaspora Afrobeat Artist of the Year
Best Diaspora Collaboration of the Year for “Live Life No Time” featuring Ray Blazeofficial
Best Diaspora Video of the Year for “Live Life No Time”
Securing three nominations in a single edition of the awards is a remarkable achievement that reflects not only the quality of his work but also his growing influence within the Ghanaian diaspora music community.
“Live Life No Time” Receives Double Recognition
One of the biggest highlights of this year’s nominations is “Live Life No Time,” a collaboration with Ray Blazeofficial that has earned recognition in two major categories.
The song’s nominations for Best Diaspora Collaboration and Best Diaspora Video underline its artistic value, compelling production and growing popularity among music lovers. The accompanying visuals have equally contributed to the project’s success, showcasing the importance of quality storytelling and creative direction in today’s music industry.
For followers of Rebbel Ashes, this achievement is the result of years of hard work rather than overnight success.
The Belgium-based artiste has continued to build his catalogue with songs such as “Kwansema,” “Obolobo,” “Activate,” and “Gye Nyame” featuring Ghanaian Highlife legend Pat Thomas. These releases have helped establish his identity as an artiste capable of blending authentic Ghanaian musical influences with contemporary Afrobeat sounds for a global audience.
His latest nominations also build on the momentum from 2025, when he was recognised in the Best Diaspora Songwriter of the Year and Best Diaspora Collaboration of the Year categories, highlighting a consistent upward trajectory in his career.
