More than an awards night

The Music Recognition Awards were built on one belief: recognition shouldn't depend on how long you've been around, how many followers you have or who you know. Talent, dedication and hard work deserve to be seen and heard.

What started as the Up & Comer Awards has grown into a celebration of the whole underground community, from established names to emerging talent. Different sounds. Different styles. One underground community.
