HMMA TESTIMONIALS

May 15, 2023

"I'm not sure you get to hear this as often as you should, but THANK YOU. The awards you've created mean a lot more than the event or the award itself: they have become an opportunity for people like me to cross paths with like-minded individuals, and have a shot at having a career or, as was my case, reinventing ourselves professionally".

~ Emilio D. Miler (Film & TV Composer) ~

“I find it amazing that MIMIcon is a new idea. It seems so obvious that indie artists need a place to lay their heads and receive REAL opportunities. Well, this is the place. The indie artists learn. The panelists learn. Everybody learns, “cause everybody’s talking to each other! ” Way to Go! You have provided an atmosphere where everyone seems to be “lovin’ on each other.” What a great experience to see all these music industry windows come together and REALLY communicate. Can’t wait till next year.”
~ Bob Farnsworth / Creative Director / CEO – Hummingbird Productions ~
“I wanted to personally thank you for putting together an event that honors not only my often overlooked peers , but also artists who far too rarely get any kind of notice outside of our world. You managed a monumental feat by starting a signature event out of almost thin air and have succeeded in making something that should be on everyone calendar year after year!”
~ Joel C. High / Music Supervisor – Creative Control ~
“I want to share with you the overwhelming response that is a direct result of my winning Best New Composer. This week has been back to back meetings with people who were exposed to my work during the three days of the conference. Agents, Managers, Music Supervisors and even Directors- simply wild! I’m not sure if you really understand how much exposure your event has given me, but it’s surreal.”
~ Zain Effendi / Film & TV Composer ~
“There’s a constant flood of ‘opportunities’ for unsuspecting artists to fall prey to in every band’s email inbox these days. What sets HMMA apart is the inclusion of actual testimonials from their inductees and winners about opportunities realized. Flattery is flattering, but results matter. HMMA means business, and they aren’t afraid to show it.”
~ Jason Dunn / The Luxury (Boston, MA) ~
“Thank you for creating such an amazing event! I was excited about receiving two nominations, and then really excited about winning at the awards! Then the priceless one-on-one sessions at the conference! I already have 3 companies wanting to pitch my songs, an interview with the top agency in L.A., and I’m collaborating with an L.A. songwriter! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring!”
~ Janyse Jaud – Singer/Songwriter/Voice Over ~
“We just wanted to thank you for such a great event. We came away with great information from all of the panels, and one on one sessions. I have been to conferences before, but this was by far the best! We look forward to next year, and thanks again for providing a resource like this for independent artist everywhere!
~Monica Williams & Wendy Loomis / Phoenix Rising~
“I loved MIMICON. The panels were GREAT and very entertaining, but I especially loved the one-on-one mentoring sessions, which was a great way to get to know the music supervisors personally”
~Marina V / Artist~
“The HMMA conference was a great networking and learning opportunity for someone like me, trying to break into the industry. I had a great one-on-one mentoring session and found the panel discussions gave me insight into areas of the industry I knew little about. I would recommend attending the HMMA conference to any audio professional because of various panel discussions featuring established guests and of the wide range subjects covered in the seminars and workshops!”
