The acts

Aside the very talented acts from GH, headlining the much anticipated 2018 edition of Ghana Rocks are two great talents who have never graced the big stage in GH before and one whose first official big stage performance was right here in GH, on Ghana Rocks with that hit track ‘Azonto’.
We start off with the classic man, Jidenna!

Jidenna

Jidenna is signed to Janelle Monáe's Wondaland Records label and distributed through Epic Records. In February 2015, he released his first official single, called "Classic Man" featuring Gian Arthur. The song was on heavy rotation throughout the United States and debuted at number 49 on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. It won him three awards at the 2015 edition of the Soul Train Awards and a Nomination at the 2016 edition of the Grammy Awards.

Fuse ODG

Nana Richard Abiona is a Ghanaian-English recording artist better known by his stage name Fuse ODG. On 2 June 2013 he released his debut single "Antenna"which peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart, and at number 85 on the Irish Singles Chart.

Burna Boy

On 31 May 2012, Burna Boy released a single titled "Like to Party" which saw his rise to prominence. He is undoubtedly one of the most sought after acts especially among the youth. With a brand that exudes buoyancy, dynamism, modesty and persistence, there’s no denying the fact that Burna would be an act worth seeing as he exhibits all these elements through a no holds barred display of musical talent, respect for fans and sheer vigour on stage. 2013 saw the release of his debut studio album. L.I.F.E., which featured guest slots from Wizkid, Timaya, 2face, and M.I., and drew favorable reviews from the music press. In 2017, he teamed up with producer Juls for the single "Rock Your Body." A host of singles followed throughout the year, including "GBA," "Streets of Africa," "Koni Baje," and "Sekkle Down," featuring J Hus. Dropping the Lily Allen-aided single, "Heaven's Gate," in early January 2018, Ogulu delivered his third album, Outside, later that month and it came along with the hit track ‘ye’.
