JANUARY 29,
2018   n March 2, 2018 ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE
will be releasing the official guide for the 2018 LA MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS
taking place in Vernon,
California on March 28, 2018 at UNFRIENDLY STUDIOS.
This guide will feature an indepth look at the all of the music videos
that have been nominated for this exciting awards program and
give
readers and music fans a taste of what the world of
independent music
has to offer in the way of visuals. It is a mission that has ROCKWIRED
publisher BRIAN LUSH "completely excited" to say the least.
"I'm all
too anxious to get this immense project off the ground!" says BRIAN
LUSH. "These days, it's not just the song that gets an artist noticed.
It's the vision that a band brings to the table. This is nothing new.
MTV got the ball rolling decades ago but with services like YOUTUBE and
other social media, a music video is more important than ever to have
but the problem is that there is so much out there and an awards
program like the LA MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS will give people a taste of
everything that is out there. The number of categories is truly
intimidating but ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE's guide to this year's program is
going to cover all of it with style and charm."The
2018 LA MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS are being produced by the online radio
station RADIO KSCR and it's CEO and founder JOWANNA LEWIS. For years,
LEWIS has hosted music video festivals at local LA movie
theaters
featuring screenings of indie music video and live performances. In
2016, she produced the RADIO KSCR MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS SHOW and vowed to
make it a bi-annual event. Now she has re-nicked the event the LA MUSIC
VIDEO AWARDS a promises to make this an annual event. "I
remember
being a kid and watching music videos on MTV when MTV played music
videos." reminisces LEWIS. "I would spend all summer watching
music videos and
recording them off of the TV and make some kind of compilation video
onto a VHS tape. Now, in hindsight, it makes no sense but that was what
we did. We woke up in the moring and we would turn on MTV and we would
watch all of these music videos. I just loved the storytelling. I can
remember a MICHAEL JACKSON video making it's debut and it would be an
event. I remember when BLACK OR WHITE came out. It aired after THE
SIMPSONS and that was funny because I was not allowed to
watch
THE SIMPSONS. It was one of those situations where my mom watched the
show and she happened to watch the show on the absolute worst day and
then she told me "You're not ever going to be able to watch this show!"
In THE SIMPSONS episode preceding the BLACK OR WHITE video, MICHAEL
JACKSON was a guest star and she let me watch that episode. I remember
the music video for BLACK OR WHITE coming on right after that. This
was a time when music videos were an event and it was cool.
Things like that really meant something to me. I remember watching
things like the MTV MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS and loving it. For me, music
videos are just as important as the songs. There are times when I
listen to song and it plays out like a music video in my mind anyway. I
like seeing the stories that are told in these videos." STORY

FOLLOWiNG THE ADVERTiSEMENT BELOW The deadline for any band that wishes to submit their music video for consideration into this contest, the deadline for submission is January 31, 2018 at https://filmfreeway.com/LAMusicVideoAwards. According
to LEWIS, the competition is looking fierce so far. "They've
been fantastic!" eclaims LEWIS of the submissions that have come in so
far. "When I first
made the announcement about submissions I had a friend point out to me
that it was th Holidays and I probably wasn't going to get that many
submissions becasue of it. But I've not had a problem with
getting submissions. It's been a really healthy dose of music from all
around the world. I got really excited because the other day - I don't
kow if you're following world politics - but there was a vote in
Catalonia, Spain for independence and there is this metal band out in
Catalonia who does these folk songs that they've gtrown up with and
this band has become the rallying march for Catalonia's independence.
That band actually submited and I just freaked out! I looked around me
and was like "Does anybody have any idea how important this is to me
right now?" It's so awesome! I've gotten tons of great submissions
already. The submission process is still open. It doesn't end until the
end of the month. I'm really excited by the stuff that we're already
getting, but there is still a lot of space. There are categories that
aren't even filled yet. I'm really excited to see what comes up." The
following are the categories for the 2018 LA MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. THe
