The Independent Music Awards is an influential & effective international
program that helps top-ranked indie artists & releases overcome mainstream obstacles and reach millions of Fans, Programmers,
Talent Buyers, Film, TV & Gaming Music Supervisors, Press and
other industry movers & shakers.
The IMAs broadens the definition
of what is commercial by giving vetted independent talent access
to major market promotional outlets and music fans.
ARTISTRY HAS ITS AWARDS
The Independent Music Awards is not a contest or battle of the
bands. IMA artists receive yearlong print, online & broadcast
promotions plus distribution & performance opportunities including
an IMA showcase at the CMJ Music Marathon.
The IMAs represent
the diversity of today’s vibrant indie scene and supports artists
with previous major label releases as well as artists that have only
self-released or appeared on indie labels.
There are over 50 Music and Design categories including
Genre Song & Album, Social Action Song, Cover Song,
Music Video,
Live Concert Photo, Merch, Band & Indie Label Web Site,
Press Photo, & Gig Poster.

LEERONE, Winner, Music Video, “Care for Some Whiskey”
Home= Los Angeles, CA
File Under: Indie/Folk Rock/ Experimental
BEHIND THE MUSIC:
----Leerone is inspired by the following: The smell of things. Freckles. Vonnegut. Hymns and spirituals. Motherless Child sung by Mahalia Jackson. Awkward moments made better by a contagious smile. Wish you were here. Summertime. Harold and Maude. Cats with sagging bellies that you can play with (Luna Bella Noche). The first time I heard Blue by Joni Mitchell and had to stop in my tracks. The Dreaming. Do what you gotta do sung by Roberta Flack, Chapter Two. The bird-like chirps of Joan Baez. Listening to Beatles songs with Rebecca on the bus and sharing headphones. Maimonides. Gelato.
