The
award show which got on the way last Thursday, July 18th at the White Dragon Club, New Kingston saw the vivacious Fame FM broadcaster fending off some stiff
competition to take home the award coveted. The other nominees in the category
were Miss Kitty from
Nationwide Radio, Sanjay
of Intense, Charm and Saudicka Diahram from CVM Television
respectively.
The
2013 MIA Awards had 30 categories, including three new ones. The show's
founder, Queenie Doyley, says, "we added Collaboration of the Year,
Reggae Song of the Year and Journalist of the Year. Two are directly music
related; however, I believe more credit should be given to entertainment
journalists who help to propel the entertainment industry to new heights each
day. Plus, the educational aspect of the industry must be highlighted as well.
It's not all about the glitter and glamour - the youth must be taught that
there are many sides to entertainment. We did a survey and the selected
nominees were highly recommended by everybody".
Lady Rennae whose
given name is Rennae Garel is
also the promoter for the now popular 'Mek Wi Laugh' comedy series held at the Puls8 Complex earlier in the year. Following its
overwhelming success plans are now afoot for an August 9th, television
launch of an animated series spawned from the show. According to Rennae , "it's
going to be a massive undertaking unlike anything ever seen on local
television, so Jamaican should brace themselves for some premium
entertainment."
