Last Sunday, lot’s of ArtistCongratZ in order for the 🎶crème de la crème 🎼of these past few agonizing Covidyears. Just around the corner of our national pride, the Atomium, Palace 12 finally could open its doors again for our local Grammy’s.

In Belgium they are called The Mia’s, short for Music Industry Awards. A dazzling show was covered by our national tv channel VRT in a live broadcast cohosted by vi.be for music, a national supporting organization for our musicians & composers.

For starters, all eyes and ears were focused on another one of our national prides. A different but one of a kind. So young but so resourceful and one great female ambassador for our country. Following the great Jacques Brels footsteps, she does honours to our sweet capital Brussels with a Capital B…

“Bruxelles, Bruxelles je t’aime”😍Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 and the world sure do love Angèle as well as her many other border breaking songs like “Ta Reine”, “Que du Love” & “Fever”, duet with no other then Dua Lipa. Winning this issues Hit-award.

Angèle especially flew back from her on going tour in the UK to be able to collect her multiple Awards in person. Followed by remote spoken moving Congratz from Dua Lipa. Not to mention these written ones by yours truly;-)
