Presenter of "Favourite Video" Award

Presenter of "Favourite Latin Alternative Artist/Group" Award

The spirit and success of independent music is stronger and louder than ever. Hundreds of artists, who don't fit in with the ever-narrowing radio formats, are none-the-less breaking through to a hungry public and winning the support of fans, media and tastemakers across the nation. These artists will be honoured at the Canadian Music Week Festival (CMW) with the public presentation of the 6th Annual Canadian Independent Music Awards show, simply titled "The Indies".

On Wednesday March 1, 2006, "The Indies" will serve as the official CMW 2006 Opening Night party, kicking off the festivities for the CMW Music Festival, running from March 1-4, 2006.
