Ashanthi the Queen of Sri Lanka’s hip-hop & r&b scene caused an upset when she walked away with the overall best female act beating out favorite Shreya Ghoshal as the social media driven awards announcement kept musicians on their seats waiting for each category to be announced on the group postings on Facebook and the Bite My Music website.

Songs and acts of the The IndieGo Music Awards was based on originality, creativity and overall song entertainment value. 30% of the scores came from online voting, 60% from global judges and 10% for marketing and promotions.

Winners also win special global PR packages, year long media support, a chance to work with international producers, recording deals and to perform at international shows.

Ashanthi shared:”Really honoured to win so many awards for my country. Sri Lanka has so much talent and I am so glad that I was able to show a fraction of it to the world through my music..I feel this year will be a really big one for me with a start like this!

The new age Asian movement is about to take over the world and the cornerstone has just been laid. So proud to be part of the action and so honoured by this big achievement! Thank you team Indiego and all the judges and all my fans who support me throughout my music career! It’s gonna be a great year!”
