The 2014 Global Spin Awards (GSA), an award show that honors and recognizes the world’s most dynamic and talented DJ’s for their contribution to the culture of music and entertainment, will be held on November 18th at the New World Stages in New York. Nominees in the nearly 30 categories were announced by a panel of industry insiders this week at a press conference at Bryant Park Hotel that included Kid Capri, Funk Master Flex, DJ Premier, REVOLT CEO Keith Clinkscales, and Rob Kenner of Boomshots and Editor at Large at Mass Appeal, who all spoke about the evolution of the DJ’s in society and how the industry has grown.
Shawn Prez, GSA founder and former head of promotions of Bad Boy’s Records spoke of the show stating,
“Throughout my career I’ve formed long lasting relationships with the world’s most talented DJs. I’ve never understood the lack of recognition given to DJs for their continued influence on national and international musical currents and culture. The GSAs were created to fill the void and finally honor the DJs exclusively for their achievements, amongst their peers. Simply put, DJs deserve their own version of the Grammy’s.”
Global Spin Awards founder Shawn Prez was able to capture the attention of many during the first annual GSA in 2012, as all reputable DJ’s and music industry executives came out in full support. Sean “Diddy” Combs started the night off cosigning the event and thanking all the DJ’s for their dedication and continued support in the music industry.
