Published on by tania_gh_ram

What better way to launch our Belgian music week than with a sparkling shower of awards. Including dazzling music performances, « Made in Belgium »

You know what they say, tiny country, huge…talent 😉

Mia’s, short for Music Industry Awards, are our very own Belgian Grammy’s 💿, set up by our national tv-channel VRT and vi.be, Flanders guiding professional platform promoting rising artists. Place to be: Palace 12, just around the corner of our national pride The Atomium.

Artist Max Colombie aka Oscar and the Wolf gave a stunning performance on “🔝 of our national pride”’to kick off the Awardsceremony
On 🔝Oscar and the Wolf

Let’s have a closer look at those winners present, on the rise and confirming internationally. Kicking off by a rising star worldwide. On our watch as well as none other then Dave Grohls. Meet Stefanie Mannaerts ⬇️🥁

Stefanie just won her first MIA (musician) yesterday. Next Friday her band Brutus will play in a sold out legendary Brussels music temple Ancienne Belgique.
Paris, Pink Pop, Pukkelpop and Daytona festival are just a few other roaring venues welcoming Stefanie and her band Brutus next. With drums and vocals sounding like a match made in shoegaze-heaven, ArtistCongratz can’t wait to discover “The Brutus Live Experience.” Nice to know: music runs in Stefanies family, her father Walter being a well known composer and her grandfather Leo is the writer of an anthem called…E Viva España.

Fancy blue suit by the way Stefanie, by all means reveal us your stylist;)

But we saw more than one vision in blue this year. Dressed like an Indigo queen, Charlotte Adigéry set fire to her mic and the stage alongside her partner-in-rhyme, Boris Pupul.

Charlotte full force 🎤🦋
Haha 🙃 Strike a pose
with a vibelike most groovy duo: Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul. Meeting each other back in 2016 through their work 🎵 for a cultfilm named Belgica, this Ghent based formation manages to transform pure irony into music. As well as many other feelings we all can relate to. Their list of quirky tracks is getting longer and longer. “Thank you, nonono thank youou ;-)” Ceci n’ést pas un cliché indeed 🎵 More high lights coming up after this years Mia’s for best art work (Topical Dancer) and producer (along David and Stephen Dewaele)

Meet the one and only Real Regi, who wins the Mia for “best Dance”,
the muse, on the left;) is vocalist Pauline Slangen, discovered in Regi’s own talent hunt “Regi Academy »

Regi’s music touch has been around for decades now and still continues to influence generations 🎵
Now this is an icon you all must know. Leading Lady of Vaya Con Dios, recall Just a Friend of Mine, Heading For a Fall, Puerto Rico, and so many more hits worldwide. Dani Klein was handed a well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. In her Thank you speech she did not forget her two legendary founding co members Dirk Schoufs and Willy Willy🎸
And then there’s this adorable border breaking artist of course. All maestro’s, please make way for Stromae! He now holds the record with 20(!) Mia’s
Twenty Mia’s and counting…
