Reggie Zippy picks up Music for Development Award
Reggie Zippy has picked up an award at the just
ended MTN Ghana Music Awards 2011. On Saturday
April 10, 2011, Reggie Zippy took home the World
Bank Music for Development Award with his music
video, 'Victims'.

The Accra Academy old student beat 3 other
nominees to win the prestigious award. Speaking to
Ghana Music.com, the manager of Reggie Zippy,
Kevin Adisi said this- “As part of our vision to
help address societal issues and also give back to
the society, we did this song on broken homes.

This song was drawn from the fact a victim of this
circumstance once approached Reggie Zippy in 2009
to help her out with her school fees and
provisions in that regard.

Reggie was touched by this and with no hesitation
asked team (DAK Records) to help her out. Now, the
kid has completed Junior High and we are planning
on helping her go higher heights. So, this song
is an experience of the kid”.

When asked whether this is the end of this
campaign after Reggie Zippy winning the award, he
added “Plans are underway to go on a nationwide
tour through the vehicle of a musical concert to
help raise funds, educate the public on the
effects of broken homes and the causes. Outreach
programs would be considered here as well. We
don’t want the future of the younger ones to be
put in jeopardy.

By 2015, all things being equal and with the
support of God, we would want to as part of our
mission help 50 kids affected by broken homes
realize their dreams (be it through schooling or
helping them with a vocation).

On behalf of DAK Records, we would like to say a
big thank you to the World Bank, Charter House, OM
Studios and Fiesta (Abraham Ohene Djan), MTN, the
Media and all fans.

Well now you know, the young handsome gentleman
who is living in the U.K with his wife and 2 kids
currently and can boast of having performed on
high rated television and event shows like
‘Music Music’, ‘Sounds Splash’,
‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful’, ‘TIGO Festival
Train’, Hiplife Festival in Italy, Holland and
France is the winner of this year’s World Bank
Music for Development Award.

Congratulations to Reggie Zippy for winning this
special award, which came with cash prize of Ghs
3000.
