What is WAMA?
The Washington Area Music Association, better known as WAMA is an umbrella organization uniting musicians, concert promoters, entertainment lawyers, recording engineers, managers, graphic artists, and others working within the DC music industry.
Among WAMA's programs and benefits they are probably best known for their annual Wammies music ceremony, in which awards are given (in all genre's) to WAMA members, who are nominated and voted on by WAMA members.
WAMA also put's together and distributes a membership directory, WAMA Pages, sends out frequent e-newsletters, and provides you with a membership card.
The annual cost to become a WAMA member is $35.
In order to attend the Wammies there is an additional $30 cost per attendee. But in my opinion the money you dish out is well worth the networking.
Wishing you continued success!

The Power of Consistency
Creating positive productive habits and remaining steadfast in them is one of the keys of long term success.
Write 2 to 4 bars everyday and you will have a new song every month; a solid album every year.
Work out every day, even if it's just for 30 mins. and you well remain fit.
Never drink and you will completely avoid hangover's and the many mistakes people make when intoxicated.
So, who do you want to be?
Now create the habits that will take you there.
Wishing you continued success!
