The celebrated Master of Ceremony (MC), Kabutey Ocansey popularly known as Kabutey My MC has been adjudged the MC of the Year for the second time at the just ended 2021 Ghana Event Industry Conference (GEIC) Gala and Awards night held at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

The prestigious award was in recognition of his dedication and commitment to building the events industry as well as being a highly respected advocate for best practices in the tourism sector.

Speaking to the media after receiving the award, Kabutey expressed gratitude to his family, especially his wife, pioneering vendors like Plan It Ghana and Jandel Ltd who gave him his first opportunities, all vendors especially DJs, Bands, and Planners who serve as close collaborators when on duty, clients and friends who have supported him to come this far.

"This award is a perfect crown for 10 years and over 1,000 events milestone. I want to say a very big and heartfelt thank you to the GEIC Board and Academy for the honour. All of this will never have happened if not for brands like Plan It Ghana and Jandel Limited who took a risk in giving me my very first opportunities 10 years ago.

"To my wife, Nora, and the kids, this is a token to the peace and freedom you give me to pursue this blessed craft. Thank you to all vendors in the industry especially to all DJs, Bands, Planners, and Coordinators that I collaborate closely with when on duty. My clients have become family to me and I don’t take it for granted. The support and goodwill I enjoy from them and my friends; it's just amazing, and I’m truly grateful to them all."

Kabutey My MC took the opportunity to urge everyone to do whatever it takes to find their passions in life and pursue them to their fullest ability.

"I believe we are all created with unique gifts, talents, and passions and I strongly urge anyone out there who is still searching for what theirs is to never give up and keep searching and investing in themselves to find it. It really is never too late, time is very relative when it comes to this. I believe life in pursuit of your true passion is the surest way to fulfillment."
