MYX Music Awards 2012 Nominees

MYX Music Awards 2012 Nominees

The nominees for MYX Music Awards 2012 was announced yesterday, February 8, on MYXph.com, another first from the no. 1 music channel in the Philippines.

This year’s announcement of MYX Music Awards’ nominees last February 8 (Wednesday), 3 p.m., was more special and fun, as it was witnessed live via the top music channel’s equally patronized online platform www.myxph.com.

Last year was believed to be the emergence of fresh OPM acts and the return to original compositions. That’s why MYX Channel Head Andre Allan Alvarez wants to continue the channel’s legacy, as he aims to jumpstart OPM’s new Golden Age

It can be recalled that the 70’s was the Golden Age of OPM. Now, the MYX Music Awards proudly brings back this colorful era with a series of offerings that every music lover will surely love.

He added that every music and artist - be it rock, pop, R&B, etc. - has its own potential of getting known worldwide.

“As a music channel, MYX takes pride in letting artists perform no matter which network or station they belong to. So long as you’re a performer or a musician, MYX welcomes you, regardless of network affiliation,” Alvarez said.

At the live nomination, MYX VJs joined in the fun, while Rock Princess Yeng Constantino, electronica-themed Somedaydream and Zia Quizon spiced up the event with their exciting performances. The nominations also went in depth, as the media participated in this session.

MYX Music Awards, which is the biggest award-giving body in Philippine music, aims to uplift and honor the best-of-the-best original Pilipino music or OPM. With the tagline “Your Choice. Your Music.” MYX has always been commended for being the venue of fresh talents to the biggest mainstream artists.

The fate of country’s most favorite artists are in the hands of worldwide music lovers. Voting is now officially open and will run until March 9 (Friday) 2012. Fans’ online votes will determine the 60% of a nominee’s total score, and the other 40% will be from the artists’ poll. For more information on the online voting, everyone is encouraged to logon to www.myxph.com and www.facebook.com/MYX.Philippines and follow @myxphilippines on Twitter. Voters are only allowed to vote once per category a day.

The much-awaited MYX Music Awards 2012 night on March 13, Tuesday, at the Music Museum will be streamed live on myxph.com for the very first time.
