Awards have always seemed like a strange concept to me, especially when it comes to music. A small group of individuals decide which work of art is better than another work of art. It’s so subjective and idiosyncratic. Having said that, it does feel amazing to win!
My documentary Walking Proof which chronicles the two weeks I spent in the studio recording my debut full length album It’s Not An Excuse, It’s A Reason has won Best Long Form Video at this year’s Independent Music Awards! It’s such an honour to receive such positive reactions to something I poured my heart into and worked on nonstop for over a year. The film premiere, 5 star reviews and now this – it’s very humbling.
Voting for the fan choice award (a.k.a. “Vox Pop”) is still open until July 18th so, if you haven’t already, get on that and help put the icing on this metaphorical cake: Vote for Walking Proof! And, lastly, if you haven’t seen the film yet, it’s included for free with the physical version of It’s Not An Excuse, It’s A Reason so check it out and enjoy!
