Ghana’s UN Ambassador for Environment Africa and Internationally known artist, Rocky Dawumi, has been included by the Acclaimed international network BET, for Champion Arise in a BET curated playlist; BET Soul.
BET Soul is an American pay television network controlled by the BET Networks division of ViacomCBS, showcasing R&B, funk, soul, neo-soul, hip hop, jazz and Motown music from various decades.
The Champion Arise video, shot on locations in Ghana in the Aburi Mountains and in California, was playlisted in June on the channel as part of New Adds. In the video, Rocky Dawuni expressed that “the video is to serve as a comfort message to anyone going through struggles of any kind, thus, must see themselves as Champions Who would overcome whatever situation they are going through“.
Rocky Dawuni, who in 2015 was nominated for the Grammy Awards (Best Reggae Album category) with his 6th album Beats of Zion with other music greats like Jah Cure, Morgan Heritage, feels there’s more to music than just a nomination or an award.
He became the very first Ghanaian Musician to get his foot at the Grammys with an Album. Explaining this stance, Rocky Dawuni said; “I would rather put my passion and how far I am able to influence the world positively through my music ahead of any award or recognition“.
“I respect and pay reverence to the Grammys and any award scheme that has recognized me but the passion and drive behind that craft stands above it all for me” Rocky Dawuni concluded.
Rocky Dawuni’s latest music video Champion Arise, is the 4th music video he’s released off his 7th album Beats Of Zion released in March 2019.
