The Beatz Awards celebrates the creative minds behind music production, business and distribution.

Elijah John, Chief Executive Officer of Beatz Awards, commented on the awards night, explaining that the company goes beyond simply presenting prizes to individuals. He went on to say that the brand does not just seek to give out awards, but recognises the work that those behind the scenes put in and do not get their due credit for a job well done.
According to the organizers, the winners will be announced on November 19, at the prestigious Shell Zenith Bank Hall Muson Centre, Onikan Lagos. The red carpet will begin at 5 P.M, followed by the main program at 6 P.M.
