Many upcoming artists, including Rich Brian, 9m88, and J.Sheon, won big at last weekend's 2020 Golden Indie Music Awards (GIMA).

Taiwan's Taipei Music Center saw a night of glitz, glam and a lot of wins last 31 October with the 11^th edition of GIMA. A stronghold in promoting creative, homegrown artists, GIMA spotlights musicians from an array of genres including pop, R&B, hip-hop, rock, jazz, and more.

This year, GIMA introduced a new category, the Asian Original Music Award which called for talented Asian artists living out of Taiwan. Rich Brian, ena mori, and Rina Sawayama were just a few of those nominated in this new category.

Mando R&B act J.Sheon leads the pack with three wins, followed by Jazz singer-songwriter Yen Ting Lo and Metalcore band FUTURE AFTER A SECOND with two wins each.
