For the first time in the AMA’s nearly 40 year history, the major American music awards show is honoring the work of “web content creators who leverage their musical talent to engage viewers and audiences worldwide.”
Orly Adelson, president of dick clark productions (the production company behind the AMAs) told Tubefilter the addition of the New Media Honorees to the Awards show’s list of recognitions of achievement is an indicator of the impact online video has had on the music industry and music fans:
So, who exactly are the inaugural American Music Awards New Media Honorees in the three categories of “male,” “female,” and “group”? They are respectively DeStorm, Christina Grimmie, and Karmin. And how do DeStorm, Christina Grimmie, and Karmin feel about receiving such an honor? We asked them:
