The JMAs lovingly known as the Independent Music Family is a huge music family reunion each year welcoming back music family from previous years as well as new faces and talents to the family atmosphere. How can an independent award show of this size feel like family? This is due to the love, dedication, heart, and soul put into each planning process step by Josie Passantino and Tinamarie Passantino. This daughter/mother duo has taken the independent music industry by storm since 2009 when they began The Josie Show, a platform to promote independent artists on radio, now heard on iHeartRadio, Spotify, and more. Their love for what they do has grown that single radio talk show into many different entertainment and product brands under the Josie Network of Brands. Their dedication to the independent music community has spanned a total of 11 years to date.
