‘It feels wonderful. Especially for all the great support you receive when you work hard at something. It’s been a fun-ride so far in the industry, I am grateful for the critics, for the assistance, and mostly for the love. I wouldn’t say I’ve been wholly appreciated, but for every new fan and for every kind word, and even for every well-meaning criticism I try to embrace, learn from them and grow. The joy is that when you do grow, people take note and acknowledge your effort. I am soaring in my spirit! There’s more to expect from my world!‘, Kennis Music pop singer Goldie happily said after receiving her award for the Female Hip-hop Artist of the Year
