FOURTH ANNUAL CANADIAN INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS HONOUR INDEPENDENT RECORDING ARTISTS

Toronto, Ontario (January 21, 2004)– Independent recording artists will be honoured at the Canadian Independent Music Awards ("The Indies") on Wednesday, March 3, 9 p.m., at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto. The
event, now in its fourth year, launches Canadian Music Week (CMW) festivities.

Sponsored by Nielsen SoundScan and Playindies, the Canadian Independent Music Awards are now comprised of 20 categories, including six new awards - "Favourite Album", "Favourite Single", "Favourite Solo Artist", "Favourite Group", "Favourite Video" and "Favourite International Indie". Due to the overwhelming quantity of submissions received for the "Major Indie" category this year, the new awards were created in order to recognize the success of the independent music scene in Canada and across the globe.

Nominees are chosen by committees made-up of industry professionals from all areas of the Canadian music scene and this year the fans will decide on the winners by voting online for their favorite independent recording artist at www.cmw.net from January 26 to February 15.
