The NAMA’s 2020 Nomination List

It’s that time of the year again whereby music artists get a reward for the effort and good music they put out in the past year. The NAMAS, which are coming back for the last time as a joint project between MTC and NBC, are scheduled to be hosted May 2 at The Dome, Swakopmund. It’s no surprise that PDK leads the nominations list, however, the new girl on the block Rose BLVC dominates the nomination list.

KP Illest finally finds himself with a couple of nominations along with Sally Boss Madam which isn’t a surprise at all because both artists dropped albums that were well received last year. The two are running for Artist of the Year in their respective categories against other big artists like Adora, Sunny Boy, Lize Ehlers and Dixon. Once again Lioness only got one nomination despite having a great year.

Artist of the Decade will be the biggest category at the NAMAs 2020. It is being featured for the first time to award the biggest artist of the last 10 years. The award is being contested by heavy weight artist including The Dogg and Gazza.
