MURRIETA, Calif., January 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- IndieHeaven.com, the leading organization supporting Independent artists in Christian music, is pleased to announce that Sandi Simon has been nominated as "Female Vocalist of the Year", "Contemporary Artist of the Year", and "Inspirational Artist of the Year" in the 3rd annual "Momentum Awards". Also nominated for "Song of the Year" was her song "His Name is Nathan." These prestigious awards will be handed out at the upcoming IndieHeaven CIA Summit2008 conference March 29, 2008.

IndieHeaven founder and CIA Summit director Keith Mohr states, "It's important to recognize and applaud the efforts made in recent years by artists who are independent. By providing them the recognition they have earned, we hope to increase their platform and awareness. There are many independent artists who are doing an incredible job with their music and most importantly their mission. We look forward to the awards being a part of our annual artist's conference."

"The music and writing style of IndieHeaven artist Sandi Simon is unique in the Contemporary Christian and Inspirational Christian music genera. 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.' 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 catering to new moms and babies (she's a postpartum nurse). Sandi loves to hang out in Murrieta with her husband of seven years, Joe. Together, they have seven children and six grandchildren. Sandi is the women's worship leader at her home church, Calvary Chapel Murrieta and is a seeker of acceptance in the arms of the King of Kings."
