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

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,

--- OUT Weekly (Washington, DC) says “Scalet’s voice is husky, something between [Janis] Ian and Bonnie Raitt, incredibly expressive, and touched with knowing, and forgiving, pain. At times just the sound of a particular phrase ending made my hair stand up.” WATCH BETH DISCUSS SINGING THE BLUES:
