ABOUT
The iGlobal Music Awards (IGMA) celebrate the creativity, power, and global impact of independent music on a Hollywood-caliber stage in Los Angeles.
The iGlobal Music Awards (IGMA)—presented by iGlobal Media USA—stand as one of the world’s premier platforms honoring the power, creativity, and global impact of independent music. Established in 2019 and headquartered in Los Angeles, iGlobal Media USA is a fast-growing media and entertainment network reaching millions each week through radio, digital broadcasting, and international streaming platforms.
Our mission is simple: to elevate independent artists, expand global access to quality music, and create world-class event experiences that rival the mainstream industry.
With the recent cancellation of major cultural institutions such as the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the Soul Train Awards, the IGMA has emerged as a central force preserving these legacies while championing the next generation of rising talent.
The 2026 theme—“The Power of Independence”—captures the spirit of empowerment, authenticity, and artistic resilience. This year’s show will unite groundbreaking performers, emotional tributes, and unforgettable moments on a Hollywood-caliber stage at the Hilton Los Angeles / Universal City, overlooking beautiful Hollywood, California.
The 2026 ceremony is hosted by BMikeRob, joined by Septimius The Great, a four-time GRAMMY® nominee, along with Chris Reed of University Music Group, and a lineup of celebrity presenters and influential tastemakers.
Together, they showcase diverse artistry while expanding global visibility for independent musicians across every genre.
The 2026 production is supported by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA), serving as the official music and entertainment partner. This collaboration enhances opportunities for artist discovery, media visibility, brand partnerships, and investor engagement—further strengthening IGMA’s role as a leader in independent music culture.
The 2026 iGlobal Music Awards will broadcast live on Tubi TV and stream worldwide through the iGlobal Radio App, iHeart Radio App, YouTube Live, Roku TV, and more than 150 radio stations.
Our content is syndicated across 50+ global media and radio platforms, reaching a projected audience of over 50 million viewers.
