“Curated from a cross section of VGMA22 nominees, the VGMAs present a live-performed musical experience designed for industry stakeholders, and produced for the massive music lovers on-air and online. It’s the month of music, and music’s biggest weekend beckons. The strings will create rhythms that command corresponding body poetry.
