THE 22nd ANNUAL SEA AWARDS
A staple in Southern music and entertainment, the Southern Entertainment Awards is once again on the horizon. This celebrated institution rose from humble beginnings to spotlight the South’s most prominent artists and DJ’s. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, the annual awards show has grown substantially from its remarkable beginnings at Gibson’s Showcase in 2004.
Known as the SEA’s, the event originated in Nashville as well as Tunica and Memphis. With it’s growth in attendance numbers over time, this led to the event expanding categories and nominations. The reputation of the SEA’s is strengthened by reputable and successful professionals both independent and mainstream.
Some of the industry’s most notable artists emerged from the SEA’s including Big K.R.I.T., Yo Gotti and Nicki Minaj.
