Norine Braun announced Female Singer Songwriter of the Year - Jazz Category for Crystallize at the LA Music Awards.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2006 -- Norine Braun has been chosen from thousands of artists and bands internationally as Female Singer-Songwriter of The Year Jazz Category for her song Crystallize in the 16th Annual International Los Angeles Music Awards.

LA Music Awards alumni include: System of a Down, Slash, Joe Walsh, Spencer Davis, No Doubt, Korn, Everclear, Jackson Brown and many others. The LA Music Awards were on November 9, 2006 at the Music Box Theatre Hollywood, CA and is now the longest running major awards show for independent artists in the US.

Norine Braun is a Vancouver based artist who is not afraid to make music on her own terms. She has been called "jazzed up, funk tinged pop." That should tell you how her music defies conventional categorization.Built on a solid foundation of soul, Norine experiments with forms from ambient pop to jazz and rock. Braun herself is an interesting mixture of equal parts Blondie, Bjork and Margo Timmins. Smooth one minute and rocking out the next. It's a rare quality, and one that Braun capitalizes on to keep things compelling, a genuine musical chameleon.

Crystallize produced by Allan Rodger is from the compilation Next Wave produced by Norine Braun under her independent label Braun and Brains Music and is available on cd or downloadable http://braunandbrainsmusic.com/nextwave.php and on iTunes and at http://www.norinebraun.com Crystallize has also been charting on the ISON Live Radio International Network's World Indie Top 40 Countdown. Australian based ILR produces content for radio & televisions stations all around the world, highlighting and playing the best in new, independent music. Crystallize will also be included on Norine's forthcoming 6th independent album expected release February 2007.
