Grammy-winning American gospel musician Jonathan McReynolds has been granted professional membership in the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA).
The MUSIGA Pro membership goal is to enhance resources and support for professional musicians nationwide.
The event took place on Tuesday at the Accra International Conference Centre when President Akufo-Addo granted Ghanaian citizenship to 524 diasporans.
The ceremony was attended by musicians including the Tagoe Sisters and other MUSIGA members.
Jonathan McReynolds, one of the 524 diasporans who received Ghanaian citizenship, was given a citation as part of being honoured with a Pro MUSIGA membership.
The citation was read by former MUSIGA president Diana Hopeson and presented by 1st Vice President Rev Dr Thomas Yawson.
The citation underlined the significance of McReynolds’ musical achievements and his role as a representative of Ghanaian culture overseas.
“Jonathan McReynolds embodies the spirit of our music community, and his recognition as a Ghanaian citizen is a testament to our commitment to fostering international ties through music,” Diana Hopeson stated.
Rev Dr Yawson added, “As we present this citation, we celebrate not only Jonathan’s achievements but also our collective goal to elevate Ghanaian music on the global stage. The MUSIGA Pro membership is designed to empower artists like him and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.”
Jonathan McReynolds thanked MUSIGA for the honour and assured the Union of his willingness to help the Union and the Ghanaian music business in any manner that he could.
His host, Princess Dr. Asie Ocansey, commended the Union for the honor bestowed to Jonathan and the possibility for future collaboration.
Jonathan McReynolds was accompanied to Ghana, by his mother and his elder sister.
The MUSIGA Pro membership offers various benefits, including access to exclusive workshops, networking opportunities, and resources tailored for professional development.
This initiative reflects MUSIGA’s ongoing commitment to supporting its members and promoting the growth of the music industry in Ghana.
