She spoke to Zionfelix in an interview at the sidelines of the dinner with industry players and the Grammy CEO in Accra two days ago.
Dentaa revealed that she started building up to bringing the Recording Academy CEO to Ghana when she attended the Grammy Awards in Las Vegas last year.
Even though she couldn’t meet the man himself at the awards, Dentaa linked up with his team and got in touch.
The GUBA awards then decided to recognise the good works of Harvey when they were doing their nominations for this year’s awards in Kigali, Rwanda.
