About Us:
Founded by Freddie L. Poindexter and generously sponsored by local banks and businesses throughout the Golden Triangle Area in Mississippi, the Golden Triangle Music Awards (Hip-Hop & R&B) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Our mission is to honor exceptional talent in the music industry through a live televised broadcast, open to the public, showcasing award presentations and recognition ceremonies.
As one of the region’s leading fundraising events, the Music Awards supports the dReam Centre of America, a program dedicated to empowering at-risk youth and families. The program fosters creativity and engagement through various art forms including music, dance, spoken word, and public speaking. Additionally, it offers comprehensive training in instrument skills, audio engineering, theatrical arts, lighting, video production, and live show management. To promote well-being and community, full meals are provided to participating youth at the end of each day.
Celebrating Independent Music Artists Worldwide
The Golden Triangle Music Awards has proudly served the independent gospel industry for 15 years, honoring exceptional talent in that genre. Building on this legacy, we are excited to announce the launch of a new branch dedicated to recognizing and celebrating independent artists across rap, Southern Soul, Hip-Hop, and R&B, along with a variety of additional categories such as Producer of the Year, Female and Male Blues Artists, Promoters, Graphic Design Artist of the Year, and more.
Nominations are now open to the public, through this website, offering artists and supporters the opportunity to participate in showcasing talent across these categories.
The Golden Triangle Hip-Hop & R&B Awards in Merge Form with the Gospel Awards is anticipated to attract hundreds of attendees from near and far to the Pearl River Resort in Philadelphia, MS. This is a prime opportunity to spotlight your hometown artists and be part of one of the most significant music award celebrations in the region. Nominees will enjoy live interviews on the red carpet and witness the exciting presentation of winners during the event, an experience unparalleled in the Golden Triangle area.
Proceeds from this event will support the operation of the dReam Centre of America, furthering our mission to empower and develop emerging artists and arts programs in the community. Don’t miss this chance to make your mark on an unforgettable night of music and recognition.
