The Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA) is an awards organization that honors independent artists, composers, songwriters, record labels, and studio recording professionals for their creative contributions to independent music. The independent music categories were once a part of the HMMAs,[1] but they evolved and expanded into a mainstream awards event, with major film music categories, nominees, and winners including Billie Eilish, Rihanna, Olivia Rodrigo, Ludwig Göransson, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, and Austin Butler.[2][3][4] Hosting a separate awards show for independent artists was decided by founder Brent Harvey after an increased engagement from independent artists internationally.[5][6][7] The first inaugural HIMA ceremony was held on August 17, 2023 at the Avalon Hollywood in Hollywood, California.[8]

The HIMAs also held its "Everything Blue" portion of the awards ceremony at the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in Owensboro, Kentucky, honoring independent artists in blues and bluegrass music, on August 12, 2023. The event was hosted by the Voice's Season 18 winner, Todd Tilghman.[9][10][11]
