The TIMAs, the Toronto Independent Music Awards, is in its fourth year and quickly gaining momentum, prestige, and music industry recognition. The TIMAs celebrate music talent not only in Toronto but internationally. Awards are given in a comprehensive range of categories including songwriting and cd art design.

Music showcases take place at Jeff Healey’s Roadhouse, on Blue Jays Way, downtown Toronto, every Wednesday night beginning April 9. The Phoenix Concert Hall in Toronto will be the place to be on July 31 for the awards show! Nominees and fans alike will have the chance to rub elbows with music industry executives and, together, celebrate independent music achievement.

The TIMA’s visionary producer and founder, Daniela Oliva, fueled by her passion and obvious hard work, has successfully contributed to the independent music scene by creating this unique opportunity for artists to connect with industry mentors. Independent artists now have one more way to add to their experience, knowledge, and networks – tools that are invaluable in the highly competitive, ever-changing world of music.

Tambourine Magazine is a proud supporter of The 2008 TIMAs. We will be there to bring you the highlights and all that is leading edge in the independent music scene world-wide!
