MURRIETA, Calif., Mar. 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Indieheaven.com/The Christian Independent Alliance, the leading organization for Christian independent musicians announces the finalists of the 2009 MOMENTUM AWARDS. The Momentum Awards, now in its 4th year, is the premier award recognition program for Christian independent artists. Previous award winners have seen opportunities for advancement in their music and mission because of the recognition the awards garner. Some have moved into the CCM Industry, while others have continued to see success as independent artists.
Indieheaven president, Keith Mohr states, "as the music industry continues to change and more and more artists are either staying independent or going back to their independent roots, it is important to recognize the pursuit of excellence in this growing industry. The basis for the Momentum Awards is not competition, but comrades applauding and encouraging one another to create momentum in their music missions. We teach indies that momentum is paramount to success as an independent artist."
"The music and writing style of Indieheaven artist Sandi Simon is unique in the Contemporary Christian and Inspirational Christian music genres. This stems from the fact that she has spent the past decade reaching out to prodigals. Her heart's desire is to call women to purity and holiness and to encourage them to run from the lies of the enemy . . . especially those lies he masquerades as 'love.' Having looked for love in all the wrong places, she is happy to have now found true love and acceptance in the arms of the King of Kings. Most agree that Sandi's sound is peaceful, thought-provoking, and encouraging to its hearers. When Sandi is not ministering to her brothers and sisters in Christ, she can be found volunteering at Birth Choice of Temecula as an RN trained in ultrasound, or catering to her patients (she's a recovery room nurse). Sandi loves to hang out with her husband of eight years, Joe. Together, they have seven children and six grandchildren. Sandi attends CrossRoads church in Temecula and is active in their worship ministry."
