Now available to watch back in full on YouTube or as a highlights reel, the Aux Awards was conceived by the new artist collaboration platform, Aux App.
Hundreds of musicians, producers and podcasters are already experiencing a new way of working using the pioneering Aux App (launched in Beta in late 2021 – www.aux.app) where they can store, share and collaborate on audio files in a seamless and more simple way, with anyone in the world.
Aux’s market-leading tools along with its vision to shine a light on the independent music industry attracted an impressive list of nominee partners for its Awards event. These included music tech and trade outlets Music Ally, The Independent Music Insider and Access All Areas, plus specialists across the teams at Far Out Magazine and HotVox.
Founded by tech entrepreneur Ben Bowler (Chew.tv / Indie Tech Ltd / Send Music), many more features will be revealed in the full launch of Aux App later this year.
