2014 is definitely a good year for Ghanaian singer Efya (Real name: Jane Awindor) as she is finally reaching the world stage and getting international recognition.

The award winning songstress has been confirmed as one of the performers on the internationally acclaimed World Music Awards (WMA) 2014awards night.

'We are incredibly excited and beyond proud. The World Music Awards just confirmed Efya to perform during the awards', Efya's PR manager told Peacefmonline.com.

Her smash hit song 'Best in me' has received nominations in 5 different categories: World's Best Song, Best Female Artiste, World Best Live Act, World Best Entertainer of the Year and World Best Video. Rapper Sarkodie and UK-based Fuse ODG, have also received nominations for the same awards.

The reigning VGMA best female vocalist has also been nominated for the Best Female award in Africa's most respected music awards event - the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) 2014.

This brings to seven the awards she's been nominated for so far this year. A clearly overwhelmed Efya has taken to her official Facebook page to thank her fans and team and ask for further support to win all the awards she's been nominated for.

'This year has been a blessing, Thanks to all my fans worldwide for the love and support and to my team for believing in me. A wise man once said 'forward ever, backward never'. I got nominated 7 times this year; words can't express how grateful I am. This is to all my fans and the organizations that help make this'.

The 2014 edition of the World Music Awards is scheduled to take place on 27th May at Monte Carlo, South of France.
