The 2024 Evergreen Music Awards

The Evergreen Music Awards show brought glitz, glamor, and unforgettable performances to the Vespucci Beach. As the stars of the music world gathered to celebrate the best in the industry, the evening was marked by standout performances, emotional speeches, and, of course, the highly anticipated award winners. Maia-Jade Osette took home the coveted best cover art for their hit song Indigo, while Jiji won Album of the year for their groundbreaking album Body Talk. In a night full of surprises, the show highlighted both the incredible talent shaping today’s music scene and the timeless appeal of iconic artists from the past.

From the moment the show began, the audience was captivated by stunning visual effects that complemented each performance perfectly. The venue was transformed into a dynamic canvas, featuring vivid LED displays with mesmerizing graphics. These cutting-edge visuals created an immersive experience that felt magical.

As the lights dimmed, the stage came alive with a series of electrifying performances, heartfelt speeches, and stunning fashion. The pre-show was a lively start, featuring standout performances by Dj Soleil, Lucy Furr, Hartlezz, Camilla Bellview, Gwen, Angie and Betheny Richman. Each brought their unique style and energy. Together, these preshow acts created a lively and memorable start to the music awards setting an exciting tone for the evening. Eyes widened and heads turned as Betheny Richman and her group of dancers came strutting down the stage. With an unexpected jolt, the stage floor began to lift leaving a wave of astonished murmurs and excited chatter spreading like wildfire. Such an amazing performance from everyone and a great way to kick off the main show!

Excited to announce Best Group/Duo, Naomi Scott made her way into the spotlight, her presence was enthusiastic, and you could hear cheers from both the audience and fellow celebrities. “Internationally known, vocally on top. She is running the charts like nobody else.” (Haven West) Scott’s presence at the music awards show was a reminder of the star power and magic that can turn an already memorable event into something truly extraordinary.

In a move that caught everyone off guard, Triad performers Lylli Lux, Lucy Furr, Emma Rald, Angie Carrington, Eden Foode, Patty Fooze and Ariana Hacker took to the stage with a set that left the audience in awe. The surprise set combines stunning visuals with their signature sound. The audience’s reaction was one to never forget. In between songs, managing a full wardrobe switch absolutely wows the crowd. They truly gave it their all with a spellbinding performance. It was clear that this secret performance had added a unique and memorable touch to an already spectacular night. This particular line up included song titles x-gene and tgif.

Known for his impeccable production skills, Donnie Mars has worked with many artists. Their ability to blend genres, push creative boundaries, and enhance artistic vision of their collaborators has earned him a well-deserved reputation earning Best Producer. A fitting acknowledgment of his role in shaping the landscape of music. Along with his appreciation speech for the Shining Star award, he shocked the stage with the announcement and debut of a new boy group, FCKBYZ, including himself, Sam, and Ritchie. They quickly set a high bar for future appearances with their fresh sound and energetic stage presence. The buzz around their appearance was heightened by a near song leak that had fans eagerly speculating about their new music.

During one of the commercial breaks, viewers were treated to a compelling advertisement by Burger Shot, known for their astounding service and homemade fried pickles. The ad, featuring 4Real, stood out for its creativity and catchy presentation.
