The History of Voiceless Music Awards


The Voiceless Music Awards is the brainchild of Voiceless Music’s creator DJ Mainstream to honor the top viewers and artists promoted on Voiceless Music overall. Starting in 2013, the awards show, nicknamed the #IndieVMAs, has become a staple on the unsigned and independent scene! 

- January 2013 and January 2014: #IndieVMAs was more of a blogged release of winners via VoicelessMusic.com with 2013's winner being Mr2TheP and 2014's winner being Shawn Rock!

- November 3, 2015: DJ Mainstream holds the first live edition of the #IndieVMAs from Blackthorn 51 in Queens, New York with the winner being Bizzy Bee!

- November 20, 2016 and August 29, 2017: #IndieVMAs was live again, this time for two years straight at the Downtown Brooklyn, New York hot spot Amarachi Lounge with Kony Brooks winning in 2016 and Shenna winning in 2017!

August 19, 2018: Just 3 blocks from WVMR New York, the #IndieVMAs returned home to Queens as we were live at DOHA Nightclub with NeQuasia winning the big award!


- For 2019, DJ Mainstream decided to cancel the live version of the show, leaving the future of the show undecided.
