THE PEOPLES MUSIC AWARDS inaugural live award ceremony went off in London last week to the acclaim of music industry professionals and the winners, who received awards, praise and recognition from the voting public. The first music awards of its type, The Peoples Music Awards have rocketed to notoriety since their launch online last September, as the first ever-online music network, chart and awards platform for unsigned artists in the world. This has seen bands and musicians hailing from around the globe battle it out to be one of the nine winners to take home a converted TPMA trophy.
Talking about the success of the awards TPMA director Dylan Satow said, “what makes the awards so special is the people decide who wins! The awards are dedicated to the promotion and development of new and unsigned bands and unlike other unsigned music competitions it’s completely free to take part as a contestant, judge, fan, or all round music lover. We are already gearing up for the next awards which are going to be even bigger and better, and are truly excited by the caliber of music that is being entered from all over the world – from Icelandic Hip Hop to Electro Pop from Athens, the site is a real melting pot for new and exciting emerging talent”.
