In 2010 Jon Magnificent was the most-nominated
artist of the year, meaning, he had more
nominations in 2010 than any other artist at the
Los Angeles Music Awards.
This started with a demo being sent in through
SonicBids to the LA Music Awards while Jon
Magnificent was still working on the album.
That
was 2008. The demo won the award for:
Orchestral
Composer of the Year
and the nomination for Male
Singer-Songwriter of the Year.
In 2009 Jon
Magnificent sought to get more recognition and with his
completed album
just back from mastering (album mastering done by Andy
Jackson - Pink Floyd's recording engineer), it
was submitted to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Jon Magnificent was recognized with two entries on the
2009
GRAMMY ballot for his song BABY!:
In August of 2009, the album was just out of manufacturing when it
was submitted to the Los Angeles Music Awards - the entry arrived just after the deadline,
but was given special recognition as the first
nominee for the 2010 Awards in two categories:
ROCK ALBUM of the YEAR (for
You Won't
Believe This)
and ROCK SONG/SINGLE of the YEAR (for
Proud To
Be n American).
In June of 2010, Jon Magnificent and his band
performed a showcase for the Los Angeles Music
Awards at the legendary Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset
Strip in Hollywood. This performance secured yet another
nomination,
ROCK ARTIST of the YEAR, making Jon
Magnificent the most-nominated artist of the year at the
20th annual Los Angeles Music Awards.
On November
18th, 2010 Jon Magnificent received his award for
ROCK ALBUM of the YEAR for his album titled
You
Won't Believe This.
