DJ Sonatty makes history with DJ of the Year nomination at Ghana DJ Awards 2026
Ghanaian DJ Sonatty has made history at the 2026 Ghana DJ Awards after becoming the first DJ from the Central Region to secure a nomination in the prestigious DJ of the Year category.
The Central Region DJ becomes the first from the region to earn a nomination in the prestigious seven-contender category, with a brand-new Pioneer DJ REV7 up for grabs for the winner.
His nomination places him among seven of Ghana's leading DJs shortlisted for the coveted honour, alongside DJ Millzy, DJ Lord OTB, TMSK DJ, DJ Vyrusky, DJ Sly King and DJ Loft.
The achievement marks a significant milestone not only for DJ Sonatty but also for the Central Region, which continues to make its presence felt in Ghana's entertainment industry.
Adding to the excitement surrounding the category, the eventual winner of DJ of the Year will walk away with a brand-new Pioneer DJ REV7, presented by Smirnoff, the official award category partner.
The premium DJ equipment prize further raises the stakes for the seven contenders, offering the eventual winner an opportunity to enhance their craft with one of the industry's recognised DJ performance systems.
Beyond the headline nomination, DJ Sonatty has also earned recognition in the Digital DJ of the Year category, one of the newly introduced categories for the 2026 edition.
The category recognises the growing influence of digital platforms in the DJ profession, highlighting the importance of online mixes, content creation, digital engagement and the ability to connect with audiences beyond traditional performance spaces.
His double nomination underscores his presence in both the traditional performance space and the evolving digital entertainment landscape.
The 2026 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards powered by Smirnoff, organised by Merqury Republic, is being held under the theme ALL OUT, celebrating the talent, creativity, innovation and influence of DJs across Ghana.
For DJ Sonatty, the nominations represent more than personal recognition. They mark a historic breakthrough for the Central Region and provide an opportunity for the region's entertainment community to rally behind one of its own.
The 2026 Ghana DJ Awards ceremony is scheduled for November 29 at the Palms Convention Centre in Accra.
