Halfway through Belgian music week ArtistCongratz would like to shed some more spotlight 🔛our national music scene. Once more lots of international potential is detected🎶🙌
After ESNS, the annual awardceremony in the Dutchspeaking part of Belgium is on our schedule. They are called The MIA’s, short for Music Industry Awards. This year they were held in Antwerp. Organized by vi.be (supporting our Belgian music scene💪🎼) and national channel VRT.
Join us for some captivating images of absolute highlights⤵️ during the show:
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.
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 ⬇️🥁
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.

From motion pictures to graphic novels and comics, it’s not even such a giant step. Stories are told in many ways. ArtistCongratz likes to hop on and off different art forms anyway.
But always with the same goal, lifting national gems beyond Belgian borders, welcoming internationals inside.
Station of the day is Breda, The Netherlands 🇳🇱, just across the Belgian border. Breda is the Hometown of a huge Festival of Comic books and therefor a perfect gathering of some of the finest draftsmen/craftsmen of our low lands.
Scroll through our Special Photogallery with awardwinning artists and their backgroundstories. Congratz to all of them! They will want you to discover more. Guaranteed.
While our finest filmfruit is being presented in Cannes as we blog;-), these music icons 🇧🇪 are shining along our own sunny seaside.
The particular Hall of Fame (Eregalerij) we are referring to may be local but the songs within AND their creators reach WAY beyond Belgian borders.
ArtistCongratz gladly adds some more international spotlight to our radionetworks tribute this week at Kursaal Ostend. A scintillating music gala, long overdue because of obvious reasons, finally could celebrate 🎶legends as our soul and popsensation Soulsister and soundwizard Wouter Van Belle.
On top of that two iconic songs are being included in the hall of fame.
Enjoy a zoom with a view, quite the sound and one or two backgroundstories…
