The ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2024, in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. Essiet is being honored with the Global Melody Mastermind Merit Award for his outstanding contributions to music, his exceptional talent, and his creative impact on the global stage. His dedication to humanitarian causes and promoting peace has also set him apart as a respected philanthropist. The award presentation will take place at Merit House in Maitama, Abuja, starting at 11 a.m. on September 21st. International Peace Day was established by the United Nations in 1981 and officially recognized on September 21 each year by the UN General Assembly in 2002. This year’s event in Nigeria is organized by May Peace Prevail On Earth International, a non-profit group that works closely with the UN. Victor Essiet has made a huge mark in the reggae world over the years. Known for his international success and critical acclaim, Essiet has also been a powerful advocate for social justice. His music career, which includes collaborations with Grammy-winning duo Sly & Robbie, and his recent work with his Los Angeles-based Mystic Records label, highlights his ongoing influence. Keep an eye out for his upcoming historic album! - [ ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae/victor-essiet-award-intl-peace-day) - [ ](http://twitter.com/share?url=https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae/victor-essiet-award-intl-peace-day&text=Victor%20Essiet%20to%20Receive%20Award%20on%20International%20Peace%20Day) - [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae/victor-essiet-award-intl-peace-day "Share On Linkedin") ### Categories - [ Jazz ](https://sensimedia.net/news/jazz) - [ Hip Hop ](https://sensimedia.net/news/hiphop) - [ Electronic ](https://sensimedia.net/news/electronic) - [ Reggae ](https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae) - [ Soul ](https://sensimedia.net/news/soul) - [ Other ](https://sensimedia.net/news/other) - [ World Music ](https://sensimedia.net/news/world) - [ Funk ](https://sensimedia.net/news/funk) ### Latest ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/20260501.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/20260501.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ Wildchild Brings Friends of the Multiverse to Blue Note LA ](https://sensimedia.net/news/hiphop/wildchild-multiverse-blue-note-la) ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/20260121.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/20260121.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ Positive Vibration: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Bob Marley ](https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae/positive-vibration-hope-road-2026) ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/20260111.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/20260111.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ Intence Releases Debut Album "VOYAGE" ](https://sensimedia.net/news/reggae/intence-debut-album-voyage) ### Downloads ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/50yhhv1.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/50yhhv1.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ 50 Years Hip Hop Mix Vol. 1 ](https://sensimedia.net/music/downloads/50-years-hip-hop-mix-v1) ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/markluvdela12.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/markluvdela12.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ DJ Mark Luv - De La Cratic Vol 1 & 2 ](https://sensimedia.net/music/downloads/mark-luv-delacratic) ![](https://sensimedia.net/images/stories/markluvnuts.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/markluvnuts.jpg?width=1920&height=1080) [ DJ Mark Luv - Beatnuts Forever ](https://sensimedia.net/music/downloads/mark-luv-beatnuts-forever) ## Web Radio Tuner Listen to Sensimedia Radio anywhere you go.
