Exclusive: DeStorm, Christina Grimmie, Karmin Receive Honors from American Music Awards

Whether its Adele, Nicki Minaj Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, all of the above, or some other international music sensations who take home accolades from the American Music Awards this Sunday, November 20, they’ll be accompanied by a set of new media honorees.

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:
