After close to 3 weeks of nominating by teenies on the Buzz Teenz website, Uganda’s longest running Awards show the The Buzz Teenz Awards have today announced the final list of nominees.
Criteria for selection was that The top 4 or 5 (in some) categories with the most nominations were enlisted for the final cut of nominees.
In the lead is this year’s awards is Swangz Avenue singer Azawi who leads with 6 nominations and only closely followed by Fik Fameica who received 5 nodes. The two have previously teamed up on ‘Majje’ off the former’s debut studio album which is currently doing well among the teenies and in mainstream media.
The highly coveted award for “Teens Artist Of The Year” will be hotly contested between New comer Liam Voice, Azawi, Fik Fameica and Pallaso. I love Azawi but my money is on Liam Voice in this category.
