This past Friday I was a presenter at the Velocity Magazine Awards celebrating the best in independent entertainment, art and fashion. The show had a glitch or two as one would expect, but all in all it was a well produced and entertaining show. It was inspiring to see so many people doing such great work independent of the major record labels, fashion houses and studios.

Some other New Yorkers were in the house including Baron who won an award for best male artist, DJ Baker of the Doo Dirty radio show who was nominated for best radio program, Deepa Soul and Jessie O.

Keep your eyes open for my Velocity Magazine Awards feature coming soon which will include video clips from the locally televised show, photos and interviews with some of the nominated artists.
