IT'S OUR BEST IN GOSPEL MUSIC & MEDIA

The Antigua Barbuda Gospel Music & Media Awards is a Global Award Ceremony established in 2015 by So Arise Music International. With over 50 + Categories to date...Gospel Music & Media creatives have the opportunity to be rewarded by professionals in the industry and fans around the world.

The A.B.G.M.A event serves to motivate, encourage others to move and have their being in the full extent of what God intended to accomplish through their lives.

Music being an integral part of our creation, the expression through various styles, rhythms and sounds, is inevitable. Coupled with lyrics that provoke us to meaningful change, makes us move and praise...is truly why we are drawn to the tugs of such goodness. And what better way to show appreciation for the creativity, hard work, commitment to the righteous cause and a diligent sense of purpose.

The 2022 ABGMA was aired on Caribbean Gospel Tv on Monday Nov 28th 2023 and on the CAAG Show hosted by International Multi-Award Winning Gospel Recording Artist/Media Personality Orlando "Landlord" Miller and Mike D out of Bahamas.
