India’s Radio City network held the grand finale of the sixth edition of its Freedom Awards to celebrate and honour independent music on Thursday in Mumbai.

The event saw some of the country's best indie artistes and performers bag awards and titles across jury and popular choice categories. 

The finale saw performances by prominent artists such as Monica Dogra, Emiway Bantai, Antarman and DJ Pash. 

This year, the awards garnered 1,200 entries across 11 categories including Hip Hop/ Rap, Folk Fusion, Rock, Metal and Electronica in the music-based categories. The non-music categories, screened by the jury included Best Video, Best Album Art, Best Young Indie Artist, Best Indie Collaboration and Indie-Genius: Person of the Year awards. 

Band SANAM on winning the 'Best Pop Artist' award said: “Our constant need to create new music led us to produce the track 'Itni Door' and winning the 'Best Pop Artist' award for this original, that too from an established platform like 'Radio City Freedom Awards', definitely gives us a great sense of accomplishment. So many of us, especially our parents, grew up listening to the radio at our homes and its truly amazing how radio, since its inception, has been helping musicians reach out to people, supporting the artiste fraternity.”

Amongst winners, Ankur Tewari, the man behind the music supervision of the 18-songs soundtrack from the most loved and famed film 'Gully Boy' bagged the Indie-Genius: Person of the Year award. The hip hop sensation Emiway Bantai won the Best Hip-Hop Artist (popular choice) for 'Jump Kar'.
