TOP INDUSTRY ARTISTS AND EXECS. SUPPORT THE INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS. HERE'S JUST A FEW:


“I think it’s important for good music to get heard, since for years it hasn’t been. Plus, a Backstreet Boy is a judge,” says Producer/ Musician Butch Walker on why he is supporting the 8th Annual IMAs. “If I can help someone else get a shot at something through music, I would have wanted the same thing for me,” says Walker on why he joined the judging panel.

"As a fan of the IMA's, I have always enjoyed discovering new music through your organization." - Andy Slater from 8th Annual IMA Sponsor, Sound-Click.com

“It’s a great program for indie Artists. I think it’s important that they get recognized for their talents. Many sounded like they were radio ready.”—Carrie Hughes, Music Supervisor, MTV

“Delighted to see such a very high quality of finalists.”- Stefan Goldby, Vice President of Programming, Mania TV “I am so glad I could find this artist.”—7th Annual IMA Judge, Producer Michael Patterson on IMA Alt. Country Finalist TD Lind.

“I believe the music industry and the lives of musicians in general would be amazingly better if this type of program completely replaces the ‘cash and prizes’ contests.” – 7th Annual IMA Judge Jennifer Da Re of ATN Management

“Very strong entries.” – Piley Bianchi and Carol Lester of MamaPUBlooza, IMA Judges for Children’s Music

“I actually played this song on my show today-heard it first from the IMAs.”- 7th Annual IMA Judge and KCRW radio host Chris Douridas on Alt. Country finalist Chris Pickering.

“Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this awesome program!”- 7th Annual IMA Judge and Key Club LA talent buyer, Carrie Istad.

“Every little bit helps”--- 7th Annual IMA Judge and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith on how important it is for indie artists to be involved in programs like the IMAs.

Elena Rossi of Blue Note Label Group became a Judge for the 7th Annual IMAs because “to help out struggling/independent artists because lately they seem to be the only ones ‘about the music.’” On the importance of the IMAs, Elena says—“Very. The more exposure the better and with the caliber of judges that the IMAS have, it can be a good connection.”

“Another great crop of artists! Always happy to be a part of this.”-IMA Judge and (now former) Music Editor of Performing Songwriter Magazine, Abby White.

Ani Lin from The Orchard became and IMA Judge because “I like to discover new and very independent music and am always on the lookout for new things for Film/TV licensing.”

“I enjoyed taking a listening.”— 7th Annual IMA Judge and Warped Tour creator, Kevin Lyman

It's Me Again!

Ok, we're heading into March already and I must say that although I am extremely blessed and highly favored, I am SO SWAMPED! A really good friend gave me a really good piece of advice...get an assistant! Since I've taken that advice, things are a lot easier, but still busy...but that's a good thing...it's called job security! LOL!
Friends are great...they really keep you honest and accountable! To my friend and assistant, Pamela Okaru...you're the bomb, but then you already knew that...you just haven't fully walked into it yet!
Anywhoo, it's great to be able to send another newsletter and actually have content that I believe is newsworthy. Thanks to those of you who continue to push me to my creative limits...Pastor Kelvin Leavy...I think I know the purpose now....

E-Three signs world Christian artist and Hebrew inspirational singer Yahaloma to the family!

For that reason, it is the perfect medium, especially with its unique communicative abilities, for Yahaloma to honor YHWH and spirituality. "I can't live without singing and writing. It is in my blood! I was created with this in my system, and it makes me who I am. I feel that I am doing what I was created to do when I do music." To listen to Yahaloma, click her picture.
