At Wake Up Music Group, we are still riding high on the massive news of our artists taking over the IGRMiami Top 10 Chart this week. But behind every historic chart victory, every number-one spot, and every independent milestone, there is an incredible team of passionate individuals working tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen.
Today, we want to shine a massive, well-deserved spotlight on some very special people who do so much for independent artists.
To the Incredible Sonya Johnson: The Force Behind the Movement 🏆
Sonya Johnson—we truly think the world of you!
You are the absolute force behind the grueling submission processes and the immense task of vote counting. Sorting through thousands upon thousands of votes is no small feat, yet you handle it with unmatched dedication. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you do to elevate independent music on the UnTapped Show alongside Kazi Austin.
Beyond your incredible work ethic, you are simply beautiful inside and out—and anyone who has ever crossed paths with you can see that instantly. Thank you for making us, and every single person you encounter, feel so incredibly welcome. Sending you the biggest love imaginable!
To the Master of Ceremonies: Dennis ThaGenius Johnson 🎤
We also have to send big love to the Master of Ceremonies himself—Dennis ThaGenius Johnson!
Smooth, professional, and undeniably talented, Dennis brings an energy to the platform that is second to none. You keep the vibe immaculate and the show running flawlessly, and your support of independent talent does not go unnoticed.
Celebrating These Special Days Together
To Sonya, Dennis, and the entire team: we know you all have to be enjoying these very special days! Witnessing the community rally around independent artists and watching the music climb to the very top is a beautiful thing, and it wouldn’t be happening without your platform and your passion.
From all of us at Wake Up Music Group, and our entire label family—THANK YOU! Keep shining! 🙏🚀✨
