The New York Music Awards celebrates New York-born-and-raised and NY-based/NY-identified artists and their recordings. Nominees include major label and indie label artists as well as unsigned and rising artists. The NYMAs introduced "new" artists such as

hip hop
to the mainstream.

Up-and-coming and established artists in more than 50 different musical categories were honored each year in award presentations featuring performances by artists in the industry. Nominations and voting are done by a process that includes open nominations and finalist voting by music journalists and

Grammys" by The New York Times
and the "best" and "most trendsetting" awards show by the New York Daily News.

Artists who participated and performed, and were honored over the years include:

M.C. Lyte, Raven-Symoné and hundreds of others.[1]

After a brief hiatus, the New York Music Awards returned with the 2010 New York Music Awards winners. The New York Music Awards expanded its Hall of Fame awards and evolved into a new organization, the New York Music Hall of Fame, and the awards will be an ongoing event produced by NYMHOF.
