The Music Love Awards is an annual celebration created to honor and elevate performers in the arts who are often overlooked by major award platforms.

From independent artists, groups, mimes, poets, praise dancers, actors, singers, and Christian hip-hop artists to internet radio DJs, MCs, promoters, and recording studios—we recognize that many creatives without mainstream representation or major label support receive little to no recognition, despite their extraordinary talent, dedication, and professionalism. These artists are the heartbeat of our communities, and the Music Love Awards exists to shine a light on their contributions.

 

Hosted by the Music Love Awards Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is threefold:

1. To recognize and celebrate excellence in the independent performing arts community—those who may not have traditional industry backing but demonstrate exceptional talent and purpose.

2. To present the annual “Against All Odds Award”, honoring an individual or group who has overcome significant challenges—whether medical, physical, or personal—yet continues to use their gifts to advance God’s work through the arts.

3. To invest in the next generation of performing artists by awarding an annual $20,000 college scholarship to a graduating high school senior pursuing a career in the performing arts.

 

At its core, the Music Love Awards is more than an event—it’s a movement to uplift, inspire, and empower artists who use their gifts with excellence, faith, and resilience.

​

In order to accomplish all three goals, we will seek the support of sponsors, community leaders, corporations, small businesses, volunteers, donators, entrepreneurs, investors, friends and family.
