NAMM 2022 AWARD WINNERS


WINNERS ANNOUNCED AT THE 37TH ANNUAL TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE & CREATIVITY (TEC) AWARDS   PETER ASHER INDUCTED TO THE  NAMM TEC HALL OF FAME   CAROL KAYE RECOGNIZED WITH THE LES PAUL INNOVATION AWARD   ANAHEIM, CA – June 4, 2022

– Winners in 21 technical and seven creative excellence categories were announced at the 37th Annual NAMM TEC AWARDS this evening from the global NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. Presented annually by NAMM, the event recognizes the exemplary achievements and innovations behind the sound of recordings, live performances, films, television, video games and multi-media. Comedian, actor and musician Fred Armisen returned as host for the evening event.                                             For only the second time in TEC history, three companies won two awards each in Outstanding Technical Achievement. 

They were Genelec (Loudspeaker Manager – GLM V4.0 in Production Essentials and FM Design in Studio Design Project); PreSonus (Sphere in Audio Education Technology and ATOM SQ in DJ Production Technology); and Universal Audio (UAFX Golden Reverberator in Musical Instrument Amplification and Effects and LUNA Recording System v1.1.8 in Workstation Technology).    The Outstanding Creative Achievement category winners for 2021 projects reflected a year filled with a slew of top-ranking entertainment. Disney+ took home top honors in Film Sound Production and Television Sound production for its animated movie, “Soul” and the second season of “The Mandalorian,” respectively. In the category of Record Production – Single or Track, “Lost Cause” from Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope) took the top spot, while “McCartney III” (Capitol) won for Record Production – Album. In Interactive Entertainment Sound Production, Ubisoft was honored for its work on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.    The evening recognized the timeless work and artistic innovation of Peter Asher, who was inducted and presented with the TEC Hall of Fame award. Throughout his decades-long career in the music industry, Asher has earned the reputation of being one of the industry’s most sought-after producers and performers. His career began in the ‘60s as the other half of the pop group Peter & Gordon. After the group disbanded, Asher was named Director of A&R at the Beatles’ Apple Records label, where he signed a then-unknown James Taylor. Asher would go on to work with the likes of Cher, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Ringo Starr, and many others, earning him three GRAMMY® Awards for his talents.    Upon receipt of the award, Asher shared, “The 21st of January, 1964 was a Tuesday, and the first time I ever went into a real recording studio. I went into EMI studios on Abbey Road… By the end of that day, a few important things had happened. I decided I wanted to be a record producer because I saw what a producer could do, in terms of shaping the sounds…So I have to thank for this award, not only the TEC Committee, but NAMM as a whole. And all the brilliant people who attend NAMM, and what they give us – all the great technology, the amazing instruments, the incredible inventions which sonically flourish in the hands of brilliant engineers.”    After accepting the award, Asher performed “A World Without Love,” a song from Asher’s days in the duo, Peter and Gordon.     With the TEC Hall of Fame Award, Asher joins the likes of Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick (2020), Leslie Ann Jones (2019), The Section (2018), Jack Douglas (2017), and many others who have received the award since its founding in 1991.   Pioneer and bassist extraordinaire Carol Kaye was honored with this year’s Les Paul Innovation Award, one of the night’s most anticipated honors from The Les Paul Foundation. The Foundation’s Executive Director  Michael Braunstein introduced the award and noted Kaye’s impact on the musical landscape, “Carol, like Les [Paul], built a legacy that will continue to encourage all people to create incredible sounds.”  Several artists took to the stage in tribute to Kaye in a musical celebration worthy of her long and revered career. The Les Paul Innovation Award has been presented annually to remarkably-distinguished individuals from the music industry, such as Jackson Browne, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Peter Frampton and 2020’s recipient, Joni Mitchell.     A notable moment in the evening came from Sequential, the winner of the category of Musical Instrument Hardware for its Prophet 5. At the acceptance speech, David Gibbons of Sequential/Oberheim shared, “Life is a series of wins and losses. And the world of MI spent a huge loss this week. Dave Smith, founder of Sequential, creator of the Prophet 5, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday. He was more than just the founder, he was an innovator, a mentor, and friend. His passing broke our hearts. And in so many ways, his life’s work broke the mold for synthesizer design. The Prophet 5 is a recreation of a 40-year synth design. And many people say the appeal comes from how alive it sounds. Did you ever think that perhaps, inventors breed some of their own lifeforce into their best designs? If that’s the case, then Dave’s spirit lives on in his remarkable body of work.”    The NAMM TEC Awards is held during the global crossroads of the music, pro audio and entertainment technology industries, The NAMM Show.

Reesi Rocca Comic Super Hero Artist Eric Zuley Discovery “Never Afraid”


image

Hey everyone as you know I often will highlight talents unique artists, models actors and more… recently I spoke at the Lady In Red Rose Diamond Awards and met this talented rocker… Read below on what she is doing…. Please share, like, comment… I appreciate your support!

REESI ROCCA ROCKS HER “NEVER AFRAID” VIDEO SHOOT with a flying “batmobile,” “Michael Jackson” and her GOLDEN RETRIEVER
image

image

About a month ago over the course of two weeks, singer/songwriter Reesi Rocca filmed assorted scenes for her opulently deluxe “Never Afraid” song video. I was there to film stills for two nights of same, the green screen work with the brand-new-on-the-market Polaris Slingshot (the futuristic vehicle above,) and the night with the full band and chorus line of enthusiastic 11-year-old girls dancing their hearts out to Reesi’s positive messages for them. Both evenings featuring a Michael Jackson that isn’t a hologram, and Reesi’s beloved Golden Retriver Miss JJ.

image

 
What I love about about Reesi’s songs/performance is her all out passion placed directly into a commercial style normally reserved for the latest pop/rock formulae.  What I love about Reesi’s professionalism is her adeptness at actually executing her ideas however wild, a rare instance of follow-through for Tinseltown! 

image

  Thus when she outlined the video for me to shoot stills for in which her Golden Retriever JJ would be joining her in a flying bed launched aloft by the former’s prayers and dreams, which then morphs into a batmobile-y Polaris Slingshot in which JJ, “Michael Jackson” along for inspiration and Reesi also take flight into into the heavens, this is exactly what happened in the production. Her Michael Jackson impersonator (real name: Scorpio Spier) was spot on in looks plus fancy footwork and even made jokes in character in the downtime between takes.

EDM Artist Destenee Releases Illuminate Music Video

Posted: Nov 20, 2014 7:34 AM PSTUpdated: Nov 21, 2014 5:36 AM PST

#EZWAY

#EZWAY

Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2014 / “I think she’s the most talented and innovative female entertainer to blossom in the new millennium. The girl not only writes and produce her own records, she even directs her own music videos” – says Jay Dixon, talent manager at DTP. “Destenee” is way more than just your typical recording artist.”

Blazing her own path as a music producer, singer, songwriter, DJ, and otherwise entertainment powerhouse: Destenee continues to demonstrate that her seemingly overnight talent is the end result of her relentless commitment to improvement, excellent research skills, and selfless sacrifice. With an unassuming spirit that breathes sex appeal, Destenee is turning heads everywhere.

 

“I guess I am very blessed, but its not because things get handed over to me. In the end I do things myself because it’s easier than having to explain them plus I have a certain vision for things. Everyday I discover a pure soul out there willing to help me manifest my dreams” – says Destenee. “I wanted to give my fans a piece of me with this video… something very special while finishing up my album, which I titled “Flight Of The Dov.”

“In the video I have four protagonists who I carefully selected from hundreds of actors who came to audition. The entire process was tedious but a lot of fun. I love all four characters because they all represent a part of me. We have Isabel who plays the picked on girl and Logan who plays the clown who tries so hard, yet all he gets is ignored and rejected. We also have Hanna who gets dumped by her bf and feels broken hearted and hopeless. Then we have Sam who feels lonely and is very unhappy. The light represents hope and the infinite possibilities all around us. I want to show people to follow – no, chase the light and not give up on their dreams. My tiny Chihuahua King Mufasa did a cameo and we shot at some real cool locations. I especially loved shooting at Barbara Mendes’ colorful Art Gallery. I directed the video and co-produced it with my mom and business partner Noemi Torres who took care of the cast and the crew, hair, make up, wardrobe, costumes, everything, I mean, she’s amazing! Teaming up with expert filmmaker Joe Gonzales again made everything so much easier. It was a great honor working alongside Bill Montei who also produced and spent tireless hours editing the video. Music producer and composer Chris Hayman helped me with pre-production and shot the Behind The Scenes segment.”

The Billboard chart topping sensation maintains an unmatched combination of talent and beauty. Currently signed to her very own label imprint Kestebray Music Group, Destenee has been building her reputation for almost a decade. Being coined as one of the most beautiful artists of the new millennium, the Massachusetts native prefers to be known for her talent as a music producer having already completed records for the likes of Rihanna, Ciara, Leona Lewis, Ne-Yo, and Trey Songz among others. She is single handedly creating most if not all the tracks for her studio album, which is set for release in January 2015.

The Boston prolific songwriter and musician who put her very own Destenee’s EDM Power Hour show on hiatus so she could complete the recordings for her album, will be showing off her other talents on the major featured film Sister Switch also to be released in 2015. Gracing the covers of magazines such as Pulse and Nickii Jean, Destenee is a magnet for sponsors and endorsements of fashion brands like Bebe and MAC Cosmetics, music brands like Parker Guitars, Washburn Guitars, Randall Amps, and the audio giant Sennheiser.

Destenee is carving her own world recognition by creating her very own DovFest, a one of a kind music festival featuring her own music and those of her peers and fellow DJ Producers.

The video can be viewed on http://www.vevo.com/watch/destenee/illuminate as well as http://www.destenee.com

BREAKING TEMPO BATTLE OF THE BANDS VOTE NOW


Breaking Tempo

 

CLICK HERE TO VOTE 

BREAKING TEMPO is a 4 piece band that likes to stay ignorant to the commonality of genres. BUT, if they had to be labeled with anything, a good umbrella genre would be “Good Ol’ Alt”. Comprised of Robby Bruce (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Austin Anderson (Bass, Keys, vocals, tech), Justin Tinucci (lead guitar, vocals), and Austin Herzig (drums, drums, drums, vocals), Breaking Tempo is based out of Santa Clarita, CA. Breaking Tempo’s name derives from a simple miscommunication and a lack of resources. In the end, its very essence is about saying “Screw it, we’ll do it live!”. Their music can be compared to Fall Out Boy, Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, and Blink 182, yet they strive to develop their own unique style which has already proven to be very successful in their original songs. While each band member maintains their own individual personality and tastes, they have very successfully merged their strengths to write and perform engaging music with intricate lyrics and melodies. This talented group of musicians has been performing to near capacity crowds in the Los Angeles market on a regular basis at popular venues such as The Vault, House of Blues, The Federal, Studio 118 West, The Troubadour, and many more. Breaking Tempo is quickly gaining popularity because of their rousing and vivacious stage shows. The band is keeping themselves busy by constantly creating new music, creating music videos, playing at a plethora of high schools, keeping their social media presence strong, and pushing the boundary with what they can and can’t do on and off stage. Breaking Tempo is a National Finalist in the Silver Jeans Company Battle of the Bands contest.  Their music video for their original song “Lion” has made it to the final round which is an audience participation round.   The video that gets the most fan votes will WIN the Silver Jeans Company Battle of the Bands.  How can you help this talented young band? You can vote every day between now and August 31st.  The winner of the contest receives a trip to New York City to record a demo with Fader Magazine, one pair of Silver Jeans per band member for 12 months, and 500 printed vinyls of their demo.

Please help support this talented young group!  All you have to do is click on the link —> bit.ly/1pJ4oNs <—- one time a day to VOTE for the band to win. The contest ends on August 31st.

Breaking Tempo Band Bio

Writing and creating upbeat and crowd pleasing music comes naturally to Breaking Tempo-

a 3 piece alternative rock band from Los Angeles, CA. Robby Bruce (lead vocals and

bass), Austin Anderson (drums and backup vocals) and Justin Tinucci (lead guitar and

bass) are no strangers to the entertainment world. Each member of this band has been

playing multiple instruments for many years, and their strong chemistry really shows in their

high energy performances.

Breaking Tempo is quickly gaining popularity. The talented trio is currently writing and

recording new songs as they work on releasing their first EP this fall. Their music can be

compared to Fall Out Boy, Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, and

Blink 182, yet they strive to develop their own unique style which has already proven to

be very successful in their original songs. While each band member maintains their own

individual personality and tastes, they have very successfully merged their strengths to write

and perform engaging rock music with intricate lyrics and melody. This talented group of

musicians has been performing to near capacity crowds in the Los Angeles market on a

regular basis at popular venues such as The Vault, House of Blues, The Federal, Studio

118 West and many more.

Who is Michael Precise “Rawefeed Entertainment” ?


Who is Michael Precise you might ask?

Michael Precise is another radio host social media web marketing expert on The EZ Way team. Michael has been with KCLA 99.3 radio for about 2 years. He has over 10 different blog and podcast sites, to help promote and market people he wants to put on his show. His show is the Nice and precise show and word is the reality version might be on MTV. I met Mr. Precise about 3 years ago at ARN studios in Hollywood Ca, We ended up freestyle rapping together and that session I feel kinda brought us together in the beginning. Now today 3 years later Mike is making a lot of noise in the radio and social media world. He met Taylor Swift off twitter and started talking to her team, that turned into him being the owner of Swiftieradio.com which is going to be Taylor swifts new radio station managed by Rawefeed Entertainment. Mike has a strong following on Facebook and twitter with a combined total of over 100,000 currently. Mike is a contributor to Viacom’s blog system which allows him to post people on MTV, VH1 and BET. This is only the beginning for Mr. Precise. He is also in the works of a project with Taylor Swift which is a collaboration song. This is just a small teaser of what is to come with the Rawefeed empire who supports The EZ Way empire. Mike will also be involved in our “All that talent tour The EZ Way first event set to be on Jan 4th 2014.

1368668016513Wait that’s not all! Michael also has a unique story to him. After all his accomplishments you won’t believe what he was going through while building this!? Michael Precise is legally blind. He suffers from a rare decease called “Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea of the eye. Cornea is the clear transparent part of the front of theeye. The clarity of the cornea allows light to pass into the eye. The cornea separates inside of the eye from the atmosphere. In the normal eye the cornea is spherical and converges the incoming light. this light than gets focused on the fovea on the retina to give us clear vision.The apex of the cornea is line with thefovea of the eye.The keratoconus eye is not healthy. In the keratoconus eye, the structure of the cornea is weak allowing for the forward bulging of the cornea.

keratoconus is the inability of the cornea to withstand the normal eye pressure due to decreased number of corneal lamellar leading to decreased tensile strength of the cornea. This affects the vision.

Grammys Measure Present By the Past

Published: February 11, 2013

Imagine, if you will, the Grammy Awards of 2045. The winners will be a diverse lot: young pop-rappers who sound like suburban Wiz Khalifas; dance-music producers using the dubstep drop ironically; all manner of Taylor Swift revivalists; pop-R&B-hip-hop hybridizers who sample Drake, maybe Mumford & Sons.

Related in Opinion
Room for Debate

Are Awards Worth the Hype?

Do awards dictate too often what we decide to view, listen to or read? Or do they lose their power and appeal once the hype wears down?

Arts & Entertainment Guide

A sortable calendar of noteworthy cultural events in the New York region, selected by Times critics.

And what a mistake all that will be.

That’s because the voters will by and large be the artists, producers, engineers and more of today — which means that there will be representatives from rock, and also teen-pop, hip-hop, dance music and so on (provided that the current generation of Grammy voters doesn’t exclude them with voter fraud measures).

And think of the complaints future generations of critics will lodge: the Grammys favor familiar modes! Youthful innovation is not being rewarded!

Complaining about the Grammys is perennial and inevitable, because the structure of the award giving, which is flawed, is also etched in stone: the representatives of yesteryear weighing in on the acts of today.

The systemic issues in the Grammy voting pool are unlikely to change: younger artists and industry professionals will, in general, participate less, as will artists from less-established genres, whatever those might be three decades from now. Older voters will continue to vote long after they are past their peak relevance.

That means that generally the voters with the most time and energy invested in voting will be the ones with the least time and energy invested in current music making. There will almost certainly never be harmony between those who make the music and those who determine its Grammy fate.

Why complain, then? One, the historical record matters. For better or for worse, the Grammy tally will be used as a measuring stick for future generations to understand the past, and when it’s flawed, as it reliably is, it disrupts the proper writing of history.

What’s more, there remains a serious misalignment between the shape, scale and range of what popular music is and what the Grammys capture. They remain boneheaded about hip-hop, R&B and country, a point they proved this year with their showering of riches upon the full spectrum of vanguard-free rock bands. The garage-rock revivalists Black Keys won three awards, for best rock performance, best rock song and best rock album, and the group member Dan Auerbach won for producer of the year, nonclassical. The Queen imitators Fun won best new artist and song of the year, and the Peter Gabriel-manqué Gotye won record of the year, best pop duo/group performance, and best alternative music album. The Dust Bowl fetishists Mumford & Sons won album of the year, the night’s top prize.

It was the award ceremony equivalent of spreading bets on a roulette table or giving out participation ribbons at a summer camp track meet. But while those acts are all young, or youngish, they unfailingly hew to old styles, dating back in some cases to the 1930s. If the Grammy narrative is to be believed, the last time there was musical innovation worthy of celebration was the mid-1980s, which may well line up with the prime creative period of many Grammy voters.

Not coincidentally, hip-hop and dance music, which reached their commercial primes more recently (or are still ascendant), were shut out of the main category nominations: Jay-Z, Kanye West and Skrillex won three awards each in the genre categories, and Drake won one. Also, the lone hip-hop performance was the night’s closing set, which included Chuck D of Public Enemy and LL Cool J, rappers two decades past their peak relevance, or, in other words, Grammy-voter manna.

The primary, loosely construed exception to the forward-looking nomination freeze-out was the R&B singer Frank Ocean, who was nominated six times and won twice, including for best urban contemporary album, a new category that in no way correlates to an actual genre, and feels as if it were invented so that Mr. Ocean might win something on his own — his other award was for best rap/sung collaboration, with Jay-Z, Mr. West and The-Dream — without disrupting the reign of rock. Additionally, the silky R&B singer Miguel was nominated for song of the year, and the pop-country wunderkind Taylor Swift was nominated for record of the year; both lost.

Adele won best pop solo performance for the second year running, for a live version of a song released a year earlier, beating Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Carly Rae Jepsen in what was either pure travesty or the richest parody in Grammy history. Do Grammy voters receive a shock every time they vote for someone other than Adele?

Unlike, say, the Oscars, where expensive awards campaigns can tilt voters in a film’s direction, the Grammys appear largely impervious to influence, reasonable or otherwise. (An exception was the unknown Al Walser, nominated in the best dance recording category, who gamed the system by convincing out-of-touch Grammy voters that he was a legitimate contender.)

That means that the structural problems will remain. (This year’s broadcast drew 28.37 million viewers, the second-best ratings since 1993, though down from last year’s 39.9 million.) Compound that with the woeful and clunky arrangement of performances, which serves to compress as many faces as possible into allotted time slots. Some younger stars were given a big platform, like Mr. Ocean, Ms. Swift and Rihanna. But many were effectively supervised by an older peer — Ed Sheeran with Elton John, Bruno Mars with Sting — or put in service of tribute, like Zac Brown, Mumford & Sons and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, all part of the Levon Helm celebration. And plenty were altogether excluded: Drake, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Mr. West and so on.

What’s left is an impression that the generation of musicians genuinely driving pop into a bolder future isn’t to be trusted. History will frown on this. And the future is likely to repeat it.


Justin Bieber Domination at the American Music Awards


AMA’s THE EZ WAY

Wow this years American Music Awards was cool. Some of the performances… I think they could have picked some better people. (Just my opinon) I think the Ludacris, Swiss Beats, Chris Brown performance was hot. The grand finally final performances of Stevie Wonder tribute to Dick Clark and the Gundam style MC HAMMER performance was a cool twist! I think Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj handled themselves very well excepting their awards. I also thought it was cool that Bieber brought up his mom when he received artist of the year.

America proved its Bieber Fever was strong: The teen singer dominated the American Music Awards on Sunday night.

Bieber’s wins included the show’s top award, artist of the year. His mom joined him onstage as he collected the trophy, beating out Rihanna, Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Drake.

“I wanted to thank you for always believing in me,” Bieber said, looking to his mom.

The 18-year-old also won the honor in 2010. He said it’s “hard growing up with everyone watching me” and asked that people continue to believe in him.

Bieber and Nicki Minaj performed together — and separately — at the AMAs, and were both multiple winners.

Credity: ABCNEWS

But another collaboration was the night’s most colorful performance: Korean rapper PSY and MC Hammer. Hammer joined the buzzed-about pop star for his viral hit “Gangnam Style.” PSY rocked traditional “Hammer” pants as they danced to his jam and to Hammer’s “Too Legit to Quit.”

Bieber won favorite pop/rock male artist in the first award handed out at Sunday’s show and gave a shout-out to those who didn’t think he would last on the music scene.

“I want to say this is for all the haters who thought I was just here for one or two years. I feel like I’m going to be here for a very long time,” he said.

He also won favorite pop/rock album for his platinum-selling third album, “Believe.” He gave a stripped down, acoustic performance of “As Long As You Love Me,” then transitioned to the dance-heavy “Beauty and a Beat,” where Minaj joined him onstage, grinding with the teen for a few seconds.

Minaj, who wore three different wigs and four outfits throughout the night, repeated her AMAs wins from last year, picking up trophies for favorite rap/hip-hop artist and album for “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.” She was in an all-white get-up, including fur coat and pink hair when she performed her new song “Freedom.” The scene was ghostly and snowy, as a choir — also in white — joined her onstage. One background singer stole the performance, belting semi-high notes as Minaj looked on.

As Bieber won his second award, he was kissed on the neck by Jenny McCarthy, who presented the award.

“Wow. I feel violated right now,” he said, laughing.

“I did grab his butt,” McCarthy said backstage. “I couldn’t help it. He was just so delicious. So little. I wanted to tear his head off and eat it.”

Bieber’s red and black outfit seemed to be the night’s theme, as Taylor Swift and Usher wore similar ensembles.

Usher kicked off the three-hour show with green laser lights beaming onstage as he performed a medley of songs, including “Numb,” ”Climax” and “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop,” which featured a smoky floor and a number of backup dancers, as Usher jammed in all black, with the exception of his red shoes. He won favorite soul/R&B male artist.

Swift won her fifth consecutive award for favorite country female artist.

“This is unreal. I want to thank the fans. You guys are the ones who voted on this,” she said.

Swift gave a masquerade-themed performance of the pop song “I Knew You Were Trouble.” She sang onstage in a light dress while dancers wore mostly black. But then she changed into a red corset and black skirt, matching their dark mood. She even danced and sang on the floor as lights flickered throughout the performance.

Dick Clark, who created the AMAs, was remembered by Ryan Seacrest and an upbeat performance by Stevie Wonder.

“What a producer he was,” said Seacrest, as Wonder sang his hits, including “My Cherie Amour.”

Carly Rae Jepsen, who performed early in the night, won favorite new artist.

“I am floored. Wow,” she said, thanking Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun.

Party girl Ke$ha was glammed up on the red carpet, rocking long, flowy blonde hair and a light pink dress. She switched to her normal attire when she performed her hit single “Die Young.” It was tribal, with shirtless dancers in skin-tight pants, silver hair and skeleton-painted faces, who also played the drums. Ke$ha was pants-less, rocking knee-high boots and rolling on the floor as she finished up the song.

Minaj and Christina Aguilera were blonde bombshells, too: Minaj’s hair was busy and full of volume and she sported a neon strapless gown to accept her first award. Aguilera wore a blonde bob in a purple dress that matched her eyeshadow.

Aguilera performed a medley of material from her new album and joined Pitbull onstage.

Kelly Clarkson also hit the stage, making a nod to her “American Idol” roots with a number on her dress and three judges looking on as she sang “Miss Independent.” Then she went into “Since U Been Gone,” ”Stronger” and “Catch My Breath.” It’s worth noting that “Idol” judge Randy Jackson introduced Clarkson, the first-ever winner of the show. He also advised people to donate through Red Cross for Superstorm Sandy victims.

Fellow “Idol” winner Carrie Underwood won best favorite country album and performed, hitting the right notes while singing “Two Black Cadillacs.” She talked about singing competition shows backstage.

“These people that go on these shows are so talented, you know? And I would love to see if so many of the other artists that are out there today would go back and try out for these shows, because they might get their behinds kicked by some of the contestants,” she said.

Luke Bryan won favorite country male artist and Lady Antebellum favorite country group.

American Music Awards nominees were selected based on sales and airplay, and fans chose the winners by voting online. At this award show, even the stars were fans: Pink said on the red carpet that she’d like to collaborate with Lauryn Hill. Cyndi Lauper said her musical playlist includes Pink and Minaj. Boy band The Wanted said they were excited to see PSY and Colbie Caillat wanted to watch No Doubt.

“What makes the American Music Awards special is the fans choose the winning artists,” said Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, who won favorite alternative rock artist and performed “Burn It Down,” as Brandy sang along and Gwen Stefani, Usher and Phillip Phillips bobbed their heads.

David Guetta won the show’s first-ever electronic dance music award. Non-televised awards went to Katy Perry for pop/rock female artist, Beyonce for soul/R&B female artist, Adele for adult contemporary artist and Shakira for Latin artist.

Aadesh Shrivastava 
      Born 4 September 1966 is an Indian composer and singer. He was born in a Hindu Kayastha family in Jabalpur. Over the course of his career, he has composed the music for over 100 Hindi films. His wife Vijeta Pandit is a former Bollywood actress and the sister of the composer duo Jatin Lalit. Shrivastava also serves as the vice president of the Music Composers Association of India. Shrivastava wanted to become a doctor, but his passion for music was so strong that he decided to make his career as a composer. He learned to play the drums, and shifted to Mumbai where he met composers Sapan-Jagmohan. He then proceeded to gain a foothold in the industry by playing drums for music directors such as O. P. NayyarShankar Jaikishan and Salil Chowdhury. He assisted Laxmikant-Pyarelal for almost a decade before taking the responsibility of a professional composer. Shrivastava got his first big break with film Kanyadaan in the year 1993. Among the singers who sang in this movie, there was Lata Mangeshkar who sang his first song. But the film did not release, and the songs went unnoticed. The same thing happened with Jaane Tamanna, but he bounced back with Aao Pyaar Karen. One track, Haathon mein jo aa gaya jo kal was a hit. His other films are Salma Pe Dil Aa Gaya and Shastra. The chart buster Kya ada kya jalwe tere Paro from the film Shastra got him in the limelight once again. In 1998, his music in the film Angaarey became a hit. Sona sona, Shava shava, Gustakhiyaan and Gur nalon ishq mitha. He won accolades for his work in Kunwara, Tarkieb and Shikari in the year 2000. In 2001, his success continued with the movie Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai. In 2005, he was a judge on the talent hunt show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2005. The following year he turned to direction with his short film on child prostitution, “Sanaa”. In 2009 he made a cameo in the film World Cupp 2011 and returned to television as a judge on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009. His semi-classical song Mora Piya from Raajneeti became a hit in 2010.
On the international front Shrivastava has collaborated with artists such as AkonJulia Fordham and Wyclef Jean. Together with Akon, he has launched an India-wide talent search on the website hitlab.com which uses music analysis technology to predict the hit potential of new songs. Other international artists he has collaborated with include Dominic MillerShakira, and T-Pain.
      Shrivastava is married to Vijeta Pandit, the sister of Jatin Lalit and actress Sulakshana Pandit. They have two sons. His elder brother Chitresh Shrivastava owned Eyeline Telefilm and Events, the event management company implicated in the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan black money incident. He died in an automobile accident on 7 May 2011 while on tour with Fateh Ali Khan. Aadesh Shrivastava was diagnosed with cancer in December 2010 and went through chemotherapy. And today he’s here in America having some fun!!
