Ghanaian artiste, Rocky Dawuni, has received a nomination for the upcoming 65th Grammy Awards.
This will be a record-third nomination from the award scheme as far as the Ghanaian music scene is concerned.
The selection of his song 'Never Bow Down' for the Best Global Music Performance category comes after the musician was considered by the Grammys back in 2015 and 2021.
The development was announced on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, by the Recording Academy.
The reggae artiste says he is "honored to be nominated."

The main event, however, comes off on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
Last year, Rocky Dawuni's project 'Voice of Bunbon Vol. 1' secured a place in the Best Global Music Album category after his 'Branches of The Same Tree' was nominated for Best Reggae Album in 2015.
