Actress Luckie Lawson is adding another feather to her cap as she is set to unveil a new TV reality show dubbed, ‘Beyond Beauty’.

Luckie, who started life as a businesswoman and owner of a restaurant, became an actress due to her passion for the big screens. Later, she became a producer with two movies to her credits under her 7^th Act Production and is ready with her upcoming reality show.

The show will be launched very soon and promises to come out with mind-blowing and interesting themes to contribute to Ghana’s entertainment industry and also touch base with local indigenes.

Even though she would not divulge the details of the reality show at the moment, she told NEWS-ONE yesterday that it was different from the other reality shows on TV.

Luckie is the winner of the first edition of the Spirited Actor reality show which was partly organized in the USA.    

She remains one of the hard working actresses in Ghana’s burgeoning movie industry. She is not seen in too many movies but still has a large fan base.

Ama K. Dedicates Screen Nation Award To Leila Djansi & Co.

Ama K. Abebrese

Ama K. Abebrese, the first Ghanaian actress to win the Screen Nation Award’s International African Film Personality award, has said God played a part in her win.

She has dedicated the award to Leila Djansi who believed in her to cast her in her movies and also other cast and crew she had ever worked with in her filmmaking career.

The beautiful actress beat two other Ghanaians- Jackie Appiah and John Dumelo- as well as Nigeria’s Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Joseph Benjamin and Wale Ojo to win the Screen Nation Award. It was the eight edition of the award ceremony which was organized on February 17, 2013 at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge in London.

“The thing about almost all the awards I have won, I am usually the underdog, in the sense of I don't have 100 movies etc. So I always thank God. It’s really only Him I give glory to because when God says yes, no one can say no,” she told NEWS-ONE yesterday.

“I did not expect to win, although I was hopeful. I try to always remain hopeful with awards. That is all you can do. Being over confident can lead to disappointment, so I try to remain hopeful. I was not over confident, this time. The last time I was over confident at an award show, I did not win. And I’m dedicating this award to the wonderful cast and crew of the movies I have worked on. Especially to Leila Djansi, who believed in my talent to cast me first in Ghana,” she added.

Ama K. Abebrese recently had a photo shoot in London with her ‘International African Film Personality' statuette that she picked up at the 2013 Screen Nation Awards in Westminster, London.  She was photographed by Ernest Simons. Celebrity stylist and creative consultant Marian Kihogo styled the shoot; hair was by Kavel Hair and makeup by Donita Boateng.

MAAAC Choir Celebrates 5 Years

MAAAC Choir

One of Ghana’s vibrant choirs whose introduction in the Christian music circle has contributed to chorale music in Ghana is the Mankessim All Angels Anglican Church (MAAAC) choir.

The choir is about to celebrate its fifth year in the music ministry and preparations are underway for the event.

After the release of its first album titled ‘Ayikoo’, MAAAC choir has been performing good chorale music all over the country. The group is currently working on its second album.

The group’s leader, Maxwell Kumi, said the journey had not been easy since the beginning, adding that the foundation on which the choir was built and the unity that existed among members kept them going.

Much has not been said about MAAAC Choir in the Ghanaian media because the spotlight is often not on chorale music but indeed, it is a force to reckon with when it comes to inspiring music and artistic performances.
MAAC choir is getting ready to put up a great concert to celebrate five years in music ministry in August.
