New York Music Awards
The New York Music Awards is an annual awards ceremony and live concert,[1] established in 1986 with its first sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, New York City, United States. It ran for six years with annual sold-out shows[citation needed] at the Beacon Theatre, and then four years through 1996 with awards announced but not presented at one specific ceremony and venue.[citation needed]
The New York Music Awards[2] was established by Robbie Woliver and Marilyn Lash to celebrate New York City and its music after they lost the lease to their Greenwich Village music venue Folk City.[citation needed]
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 Whitney Houston, Madonna,[3] L.L. Cool J, Vanessa Williams, Joan Osborne, and Mary J. Blige, and have been credited for first introducing rap & hip hop to the mainstream.[citation needed]
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 music industry representatives, along with a public vote. The New York Music Awards has been called "Better than the Grammys" by The New York Times and the "best" and "most trendsetting" awards show by the New York Daily News.[citation needed]
