“It was a real mixbag of styles this time round, with dance and electronica really being part of many of the submitted songs, including the rock category. We’re happy to see representation from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka this year, and Ashanthi has really notched up so many nominations because she is such a versatile act that defies genre similar to Sanjeev Thomas. Its great to see a past winner of ours, Shadow gain so many nominations too, but we also want to salute new faces such as Colin Terence and Pragya Wakhlu who have also done well in the nominations category. Its also amazing to see Pakistan’s top act, Qayaas have two nominations in the same category, but nothing is certain at this point as we head into the voting stage on November 15th. We will also be announcing the most mindblowing music video nominees by the end of the week” said Siva “Zaphod” Chandran, COO of Saintz & Sinnerz and founder of IndieGo Music Awards and Bite My Music Global awards.
