Jana Mashonee, Native American Singer/Songwriter has won the Pop
category at the 2009 Indian Summer Music Awards and has been nominated
for 4 Native American Music Awards (NAMMY) including Artist of the
Year.
The Indian Summer Music Awards (ISMA) recognizes and promotes the very
best in Native American music created by both established and emerging
artists. Entries were judged by a panel of respected professionals
from across the music and entertainment industries. Winners were
selected from 13 categories including Folk, Alternative Rock, Pop,
Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Spiritual, and Traditional Drum.
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am to receive the award from the
Indian Summer Music Awards," said Jana, "to be recognized for my work
on "New Moon Born" is so satisfying and I'm grateful to all those who
worked on the album and my fans that have supported me."
Jana's single release "A Change is Gonna Come" received 3 of the 4
NAMMY nominations for Best Video, Best Song/Single and Best (Pop)
Recording. "It's an honor to have my work recognized by NAMA," said
Jana, "especially to be among so many talented artists."
All proceeds from the sales of "A Change is Gonna Come" go to Jana's
Kids Foundation, Jana's non profit 501(c) (3) organization which
awards Native Youth with educational scholarships to help them to
achieve their dreams. In 2009, Jana's Kids awarded two scholarships in
the Academic and Athletic categories to two Native Youth and for the
first time from North Carolina.
