Grand Prize
We’re thrilled that Nick has signed a music deal as a direct result of our MiMc Music Awards. Nick was invited to perform at a Festival in Sweden, August 2024
“I See You” is a love story about finally meeting that one special “person.” When you know that person is the one, you want nothing but to share everything with them. I thought this song would resonate with a lot of people which is why I was so ecstatic to record this in studio. I thought the hook was super catchy and an “ear-worm.” I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
2nd Place
We’re thrilled that CJ has signed with a music management group as a direct result of our MiMc Music Awards. She was also invited to perform at a Festival in Sweden, August 2024
“Kid” is a song about the tough realities of growing up. You look around one day and realize that you’re living in the moments you used to think about as a child. I hope it brings you some nostalgia.
3rd Place
As a result of this event, we’re excited for the continued exposure Darkened Skies has received through interviews and radio, including the UK and playlists.
This song is a part of my EP. It’s a concept album based on the real-life story of Colleen Stan. It was inspired by the book A Perfect Victim (The Girl in the Box). I was fascinated by the story and wanted to write about her. This song is my interpretation of her survival.
