Today, the winners of the 2026 Indie Music Channel Awards will be announced online! 🎶✨

I’m feeling incredibly grateful to have received 11 nominations this year, including Album of the Year. ❤️

I truly wish I could have been in Hollywood yesterday to celebrate with everyone. I have such wonderful memories of attending the Indie Music Channel Awards in the past — so much fun, so much music, and so many talented independent artists coming together. Unfortunately, I had a wedding to do at my flower shop and work had to come first!

After being away from the Indie Music Channel and the music scene for about 10 years, coming back to songwriting and receiving 11 nominations means more to me than I can express.

A heartfelt thank you to Christopher Ewing and all of the Indie Music Channel judges for listening to my music, considering my work, and honoring me with these nominations. Whether I take home an award or not, I am already deeply grateful just to have my music recognized again. 🙏🎶

And congratulations to all of the amazing artists who were celebrated in Hollywood last night and to all of this year’s winners! 🏆

Sending lots of love to Christopher, the judges, the artists, and the entire Indie Music Channel family. I wish I could have been there with you all! ❤️

Here’s to independent music, creativity, and never giving up on the music inside of us. 🎶✨

With love and gratitude,
Catherine Manna ❤️
