What are the Los Angeles Music Awards and their affiliated award programs Hollywood F.A.M.E. Awards and Phoenix Music Awards?
The Los Angeles Music Awards were founded in 1991 by LA business impresario Alfred Connor Bowman, whom at the time was known as Al "The Limoman" for his part ownership of one of L.A.'s most prestigious limousine companies called Fun Time Limousine. In 1992, Bowman sold the company to a group of investors in Orange County, California, where it continues to operate today. See: www.funtimelimo.com
Every year since the first Los Angeles Music Awards show was held on December 17th, 1991, the event continually draws huge crowds and elite entertainment industry, public figures. The main event combines all two award programs into one show, with attendees from all over the world coming to Hollywood for this one big event. This awards program is the oldest one in the world for independent artists and bands. It can also serve as a tremendous marketing tool for getting any artists music into the commercial marketplace. For those who choose to utilize its benefits correctly, an award recipient can actually establish a career in the music business like some of our past alumni have done such as No Doubt, 1992 nominee, Korn, 1993 nominee, Sugar Ray 1994-95 nominee, System of A Down, 1996 nominee, Save Ferris, 1996 recipient, Jennifer Paige, 1996 nominee, Alien Ant Farm, 1999 recipient, Black Eyed Peas, 2000 nominee and countless others who have passed through our unique community over the past 20 years.
