With only a day left until voting closes for the upcoming virtual celebration of the country’s premier music awards show, MYX Awards 2020, fans are called on to cast votes for performing artists in its diverse list of categories. In the time of the pandemic, when the world is, without warning, put to a standstill, the country’s top music authority turns to the virtual stage to award the industry’s best this 2020.
In the past few months, we have undoubtedly seen the power of the arts in lifting our spirits and planting the seeds of solidarity to fight against the unseen enemy. Music has since continued to reign supreme thus propelling the leading music channel to carry on with its commitment to recognize top local musical talents online–a departure from its widely-celebrated annual event.
As the acclaimed music channel seeks to utilize the barrier-breaking and rule-bending force of music to gather artists and help bring joy to Filipinos all over the world amid these challenging times, last May, the list of nominated artists in ten diverse categories has been unveiled.
In the virtual announcement of nominees, this year, rock/funk band IV of Spades once again took the lead in the list of nominations with six nods including Artist of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Urban Video of the Year, and Song of the Year for “Come Inside of My Heart”, and Rock Video of the Year and Collaboration of the Year for their song “Nagbabalik” with rock icon Rico Blanco.
Shanti Dope, KZ Tandingan, Moira Dela Torre, Ben & Ben, and SB19 also copped top nods in their respective categories.
