It's a WIN! 
Sonia V's "a thing or 2" gains national recognition by the music industry and garners the award for "Christian Album of the Year" in the 2006 Independent Music Awards sponsored by Music Resource Group making Sonia V. one of the hottest independent artists this year and "a thing or 2" one of the best independent album releases in the country. 

"a thing or 2" has crossover appeal and has hit the charts in the secular arena taking her to number one on several stations, acquired rave reviews, countless media interviews, spotlights and features and has even landed her a spot on the Hollywood Hotlist of animal rights supporters.  The title track has also gained recognition from the VH1 "Song of the Year" Contest naming Sonia V. one of the "must hear" artists and recognizing her exceptional songwriting for "a thing or 2". 
International Songwriting Competition selected the title track "a thing or 2" for the semi-finals round of judging in the Pop/Top 40 Category for International Song of the Year.  Billboard Song Competition highly praises "Superstar" in critique.  American Christian Music Awards named her this year's "Female Breakout Artist of the Year" but Sonia's music is breaking out into the secular arena more so than the Christian arena these days. 

The Music Resource Group is one of the industry's leading companies for entertainment resources and industry listings.  Sonia V's album was selected by a prestigious panel of judges including Nora Jones, Melissa Ethridge, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones), Billboard Magazine and many others.  This year marked the largest number of album entries MRG has received to date, making this a very honorable recognition. The Music Resource Group will distribute "a thing or 2" to all Borders stores and will be releasing the next radio single "Tell Me" to radio in early 2006 by the leading radio promotion company, The Planetary Group. A promotion and publicity campaign are underway to promote Sonia's album throughout 2006 to the music industry.  A music video for the single is also in the works.
