The Josie Music Awards
The JMAs are the largest independent
music award show in the world, and they are privately owned by mother-daughter
duo Josie Passantino-Boone and Tinamarie Passantino. The two started the awards
show in 2015 after seeing a need for independent music artists, songwriters and
business professionals to come together to celebrate their work and
accomplishments.
