The Detroit Black Music Awards - A Huge Success!

It was a great honor to be among some of the greatest voices and musical talents of Detroit yesterday. Viewing the show and seeking out those who were winners of this year 2013 was exciting. There were performers of those that struck such joy and excitement throughout the audience. But as I saw it was a huge success with a larger crowd from the year before. And a little disappointing, those that were invited and/or came to except their awards did not stay throughout the whole event. I would love to write of nothing but the good of it all, but there's always something to see to upset you and wish people could be more respectable. If you're not able to stay for the whole event, have someone except the award for you and send your thank you(s) as would any respectable person would do. This is event is made to show the support and appreciation to the Musicians of Detroit.  Although it was a huge success I am hoping to see this event grow larger than this year and the year before. I would love to see those that want to be acknowledged or noticed by the Detroit Black Music Awards to come support this event. To be noticed is to get noticed and to get noticed you need to show your support. To be nominated will take the support of those in the music industry and to be a winner will be of those who support you for what you do. 

For the new artist who took home the 2013 R&B Male Artist of the Year Award - Pierre Anthony, a voice to be heard. Congratulations!

And let's say YES! Brandon Williams took home the 2013 Drummer of the Year Award, Congratulations Brandon! 

And Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of the 2013 Detroit Black Music Awards!

The Detroit Black Music Awards

One of Detroit's most newest and recognized events coming this Sunday August 4, 2013 at the Bert's Warehouse Theatre. They will be coming from all over to view this event including myself. Two years ago the group Phase 5 won their first Detroit Black Music Award as the Best R&B Group of Year Award 2011. They are one of the greatest show of guys in Detroit you'll want to see on the stage, and also as their PR I enjoy working for them.  They are a group that has developed a sound of smooth jazz mixed with a slamming "in your face" style of today's R&B.  Look for them coming in the any area near you. You won't be disappointed. You can also find them on Facebook or Reverbnation. 

So, Back to the Detroit Black Music Awards, this August 4th we will have artists from jazz performers to entertainers of the year being presented with awards for their great achievement throughout this year.  There will also be some of the great performers to show what Detroit is all about.  

Check back soon to hear from some of our local artists and we hope to see you at the Detroit Black Music Awards.
