The stagecraft was finished in less than a week, according to Elizabeth Efua Sutherland, the creative director behind Stonebwoy’s amazing performance at the 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards [TGMA].
Many in attendance at the 25th TGMA complimented Stonebwoy’s outstanding performance and showered appreciation on the creative director of the amazing spectacle.

During the weekend, Efua Sutherland revealed in a ChannelOne TV interview that she was contacted later than anticipated regarding Stonebwoy’s stagecraft.
“This was less than a week…We got the call quite late… I normally put such an act within 6 weeks…It’s great to see people appreciate the hard work,” she noted.
The creative director expressed her appreciation for working with “conscious artistes,” a trait she believes Stonebwoy possesses.
