THE 2010 TORONTO INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS IS NOW IN THE HISTORY BOOKS.

The Toronto Independent Music awards was held on Friday July 23rd 2010 once again at the Phoenix Concert theatre in Toronto. Awards were given out in various music genres. It was a fun night as many in the music industry came out to see their fave indie artists get recognized in what they do best. Daniela Oliva, the founder put up a great show with lots of sponsors including $60,ooo in prizes.

It was a full house of performances, green room appearances and photos. I presented the Best Alternative Rock award which went out to Waxmen. These guys JUMPED onto the stage with happiness. This is what the TIMAS are about. Pictured on the red carpet with the CEO and Founder Daniela Oliva is Atlanta based R&B artist Tim Campbell who was nominated for Best International/USA artist. The White Ravens won but we hear Campbell raised off the roof at Yonge-Dundas Square 2 days later at Youth Day 2010 with his R&B performance.

Several group, past and present nominees were in attendance like JD Era, Rich Kidd who won the Best Live Urban and many more.

R&B SENSATION TIM CAMPBELL NOMINATED FOR "BEST INTERNATIONAL/USA ARTIST" AT THE TORONTO INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS.

Tim Campbell is a rising R&B sensation whose smooth vocals and writing creativity have been blessed for many years. His single off his debut "Silent Tears" album "Beautiful" was a huge hit and has now been nominated for a 2010 Best International/USA artist award in the Toronto Independent Music Awards in Canada which will be presented. on Friday July 23rd 2010. Campbell performed on the Mo'Nique show alongside New Edition's "Heads of State on BET (Black Entertainment TV) and has been featured on several newspapers and radio stations including hometown paper Milwaukee Journal Sentinel during this first album release in 2008. He was also interviewed by 98.3 Jammin FM in Milwaukee and Fox 6 TV was present during his performance at his former Milwaukee High school during Black History month in 2008.

In 2008/2009, "Beautiful" became somewhat of an anti-domestic violence anthem as shortly after it was released, singer Rihanna was battered by her then boyfriend Chris Brown. Campbell then went on a DV tour "Domestic Violence" where portions of the proceeds was donated to women's shelters. He released a statement in 2009 denouncing the act.

Campbell is scheduled to speak about domestic violence and violence in general at a press conference in Toronto, Canada at 11.30am on Friday July 23rd 2010 alongside the family of late Toronto Rapper Michael "Meyend Tricks" George, the winner of the 2007 Best Rap category at the Toronto Independent Music Awards who was gunned down July 2007, a week before the awards while sitting in his car and never lived to pick up the award. George's first and final album will be released to the media at that news conference and Campbell believes it is the right thing to do to support the family when you lose a comrade in the same field. It is noted that the last five consecutive homicides in Toronto, Canada (#23, 24, 26) and Peel region, a surburb homicides (#1 and 2) were domestic violence related so Campbell plans to speak about it with various Toronto media while in town.The Toronto Independent Music Award show takes place at 7pm on Friday July 23rd 2010 at the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto, Canada.

Campbell is also scheduled to headline a huge yearly rally called "Youth Day Toronto 2010" which showcases all the incredible talent of young Canadian artists; from their music and dance to the YOUTH GALLERY with art and photography! There will be concert sets from 11am to 9pm closing off with Canadian Music Award (JUNO) nominee R&B singer Kim Davis and Tim Campbell. This event is scheduled for Sunday July 25th 2010.
