A Ghanaian musician based in the United States of America, Koby Maxwell, has won an award at the recently held Indie Music Channel Awards.

He won the Best Special Video award of the 2018 Indie Music Channel Awards (IMCA) which was held in California, from April 21-22, 2018.

Music video of Koby Maxwell’s song ‘African Lady,’ on which he featured Wizboyy Ofuasia, won the award.

Indie Music Channel, organizers of the IMCA was created by Christopher Ewing who is an Emmy Award-winning TV host, actor & model. His creation was based on the need to raise support for US-based indie artists and their music.

According to Koby Maxwell, the music video for 'African Lady' was shot in the Northern Region of Ghana because they wanted to portray authentic scenery that is normally not seen in mainstream media about Ghana elsewhere.

“We felt it was very important to show the world Ghana and Africa in the most pristine form as a way of promoting the culture,” he said.

Published on YouTube in March 2017 by Koby Maxwell Productions, the music video has won the hearts of many music fans, especially Ghanaians and Nigerians living in the Diaspora.
