I am very happy to see Brandy Moss Scott win Favorite Female Artist. I have been a fan of her songs for years. Her “Bye Bye Baby” is one of my favorite songs of all time. Congratulations Brandy from your girl in Boston.

Loved Mind Body and Soul’s video. “Just a Matter of Time” was an outstanding song, too. Happy they won. Congrats and keep the music alive!

I have noticed several people said “Keep The Music Alive.” I think that is exactly what Indie Artists do and I am happy they are getting recognized for all their contributions, especially now, during this unusual time in history. I listen to IMN shows because of the music. I loved “Starlight” and was happy it won. Also “Days” made me long for times past and I love any song Joe Taylor sings. So, I too am saying to all artists: Keep The Music Alive.

Congratulations to all the winners. For me, coming from Nashville, I was happy to see Briana Calhoun win because I really like her song, “Nashville.” Good work Briana and I am looking forward to more from you in the future. I also think Csllie Young is someone to watch in the future. She doesn’t seem to have recorded a lot of songs, but the 2 she has given us are very special. I hope she has more coming soon. I think she has the potential to really make it big in our industry. Go for it Callie. Thanks to IMN for honoring all the talented men and women.
