MYX Music Awards 2012 Nominees

After the success of MYX Charts app, which became the world’s most downloaded free music application in the Android Market, MYX, the no. 1 music channel in the Philippines, now embarks on achieving a new milestone, the MYX Music Awards 2012.

This year’s announcement of MYX Music Awards’ nominees last February 8 (Wednesday), was more special and fun, as it was witnessed live via the top music channel’s equally patronized online platform www.myxph.com.

Last year was believed to be the emergence of fresh OPM acts and the return to original compositions. That’s why MYX Channel Head Andre Allan Alvarez wants to continue the channel’s legacy, as he aims to jumpstart OPM’s new Golden Age

It can be recalled that the 70’s was the Golden Age of OPM. Now, the MYX Music Awards proudly brings back this colorful era with a series of offerings that every music lover will surely love.

He added that every music and artist—be it rock, pop, R&B, etc.—has its own potential of getting known worldwide.

“As a music channel, MYX takes pride in letting artists perform no matter which network or station they belong to. So long as you’re a performer or a musician, MYX welcomes you, regardless of network affiliation,” Alvarez said.

At the live nomination, MYX VJs joined in the fun, while Rock Princess Yeng Constantino, electronica-themed Somedaydream and Zia Quizon spiced up the event with their exciting performances. The nominations also went in depth, as the media participated in this session.
