I was cordially invited to the Fourth Annual Aurision Music Awards in

Brooklyn, New York. Accompanied by a studio audience, this award show

celebrated the achievements of emerging artists across different genres,

many of whom are based in New York City and the Greater Metropolitan Area.

Hosted by Kayvan MD, the event brought together musicians, media

professionals, and fans for a night of musical performances and

recognition.

Aurision produces various artist spotlights and playlists throughout

the year. During the few weeks leading up to the ceremony, many rising

New York artists were selected as nominees. Nominees included Lexa Gates, Roy Blair, 2hollis, and Samara Cyn, among many others.

Aurision also has released a playlist featuring tracks from this

year’s nominees, allowing audiences to familiarize themselves with the

artists’ work. You can find their nominee playlists, artist spotlights a @aurisi0n.

The awards ceremony featured live performances from Estephanie, Laura Elliot, and Yoshi T. All three performing artists had their own unique sound. Estephanie embraced an Alternative R&B style of music, while Laura Elliot leaned toward an indie/ acoustic sound.

Laura Elliot showcased her natural gift and skill on the acoustic guitar.

Unforgettable is Yoshi T, who brought back the early 2000’s with

his catchy, ringtone style of RNB. The performances provided the

audience with a peek into the rich diversity and talent that is in the Brooklyn

independent music scene. The event concluded with the announcement of

the winners, who were recognized for their contributions to music over the

past year.
