"The IMA program has
produced a tremendous boost for my career
from selling 400 of my CD's in a 24 hour period due to the IMA's
exclusive 4.5 million customer-contact promotion through
Borders, to receiving an offer for a multiple album record deal
with major distribution due in part to the exposure and buzz
that the IMA program created within the industry through their
Winners CD sampler and the omnipresent Musician's Atlas.
What's more, the IMA
program is run by people who truly care about independent music
and an artist's long-term career -- the IMA staff
have been, and continue to be, more than generous with their
time and resources -- winning the award is just the beginning,
these people are on the musicians' side!"

"The
Independent Music Awards got Girlyman their first record deal!
Because of the IMAs, Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls listened to the
band's album and a few months later signed Girlyman to her
label, Daemon Records. Thanks!"

of really supporting good music, the IMA's have significant
influence and reach within and beyond the music industry"

"One of the
challenges of an Indie Label is finding effective yet
inexpensive ways of increasing your artist's profile. Having the
Independent Music Awards choose Ronnie Earl for the Blues/R&B
award provided recognition to an artist that truly deserves it."

"Winning the Independent Music Awards for best
Pop/Rock act has had a big impact on my career. Right off the
bat I
was contacted by several managers asking for press kits. I am
now working with one of those managers.
The centerfold section of The Musician's Atlas really features
the
winning acts and I'm sure that it has everything to do with
increased awareness of the name Robby Baier and my band,
Melodrome at music conferences and in the music community.

Winning the
Independent Music Awards has given me personal
validation. Add to that the exposure it has given me opening
doors that otherwise had been closed and I am thrilled.
