TGMAs 2025: Kinaata full of gratitude for 5th Songwriter trophy

Highlife star Kofi Kinaata has expressed gratitude for his 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs) Songwriter of the Year trophy.
“Truly humbled to be named Songwriter of the Year for the fifth time. Thank you to my fans, my amazing team, Ghana Music Awards and the producers who help bring every song to life — this is all because of you,” he wrote on Facebook, Tuesday, May 13.
Kinaata’s fifth Songwriter of the Year came via a new Highlife piece titled Saman, from his debut EP called Kofi OO Kofi. Saman recounts how a man believed to be dead reappeared much to the shock of his friend who betrayed him.
TGMAs 2025 took place at The Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), Accra. It began on Saturday evening, May 10, and ended on Sunday morning, May 11.
During his acceptance speech, Kinaata recognised OT Woode for producing Saman, and Abochi handling the sound engineering. He saluted his friend and music producer Two Bars, and on Facebook thanked sound engineer Seshi, too.
