To date, more than 1,200 artists/groups have been nominated and 270 Groove statuettes presented to exemplary Gospel musicians in Kenya and the larger East African region.

The 8th awards ceremony, held on 1 June 2013, was attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

[6] Initiated in 2013, Groove Camp,[7] a 3-day annual forum, unites, equips and raises the standards of gospel musicians and gatekeepers by equipping them with relevant skills to improve their craft and ministry.

The camp draws more than 150 artists and 15 facilitators who tackle issues concerning the music ministry and industry.

[8] Borrowing from the Groove Awards 2014 theme, 'Let Your Light Shine' (LYLS), derived from Matthew 5:16, the camp's purpose was to ignite in the hearts and minds of artists, a conversation that will keep burning throughout the year.
