"As an IMA Finalist the response from radio stations has been unbelievable. It's a real attention-getter and keeps my CD from being over looked. I've gotten live, on-air interviews on several stations -even a 1 hour slot where they interviewed me in between playing my songs!
And I was finally able to get my CD into a 5 state store chain - they told me that it was because I was an Independent Music Awards Finalist.
Being involved in the IMAs has been one of the greatest experiences I have had in music. What a great organization and award program!"
