One of the elements I like most about my job is how involved
I get to be in our amazing community here in the Kootenays. Over the past nine
months living here in the Koots I have gotten to take part in amazing community
events big and small, working with the Kootenay Music Awards has been a new
experience for me working behind the scenes in a new way--- crafting a website.
Usually my involvement with the community involves chatting
things up, attending, greeting and socializing with people. Building the
website for the Kootenay Music Awards is a totally new thing for me because
unlike the social and promotional aspect of events that I am used to the
website has been all me. Lots of alone time and communication from the
directors of the Kootenay Music Awards have led to the website you now see. I
am very proud of it. Even though I did not code it and worked it all out with
the power of Wix, I still absolutely love it.
After getting the basics going for the submission period in
March the website had to go through another face lift to enable voting and linking
up all the Soundcloud accounts. I can now happily tell you that voting is open for the KMAs until April 30th. I hope you have a chance to check it
out and vote! While you are at it let me know what you think; I would love to
hear your feedback.
I am a huge fan of Canadian Music. At this time last year I
was totally inspired by working at the East Coast Music Awards with our Nova
Scotia Community College’s Radio ECMA. It was a fabulous time! If you ever have
the opportunity to volunteer with grass-roots level organizations do it! The
experience is so rewarding. I love seeing people gain hype and fame from these
events, it makes you feel like you have met famous people before they were big
deals. You get to be super trendy and cool; it is like you are in the loop on
the next big thing.
I hope I can post up some interviews in the coming weeks so
you can hear from the people who made the tunes nominated this year for the 3rd
Annual Kootenay Music Awards! Until then, keep up with the KMAs by visiting
www.kootenaymusicawards.biz!
The Kootenay Music Awards will be presented May 9th at the Spirit Bar in Nelson!
