The singer’s ‘Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1’ was nominated for Best Global Music Album but he lost to Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo.
During an interview on the red carpet, the two-time Grammy-nominated musician said he felt amazing to be representing Ghana on the global stage.
"I feel privileged and honoured to be in this moment and also to be a person that is pushing our music to the rest of the world. It's a good day for Africa, it's a good day for Ghana," he said.
“Ancestors are with us, the wind in our sails and we feel that every step that we take is in lockstep with their intentions. So, we are privileged to be here to represent a music tool that tries to bring people together,” Rocky Dawuni added.
