Star Spot Interview Wins Two 2025 Communicator Awards – Celebrating Global Music Stories!
Star Spot Wins Two 2025 Communicator Awards for Global Music Storytelling
We’re thrilled to announce that Star Spot, our original global music interview series, has been honored with two 2025 Awards of Distinction by the Communicator Awards.
🏆 Best Social Content Series – Interview Series
🏆 Best Social Content Series – Arts, Culture & Entertainment
These awards recognize excellence in digital storytelling, and we couldn’t be prouder to see Star Spot celebrated on an international stage.
What Is Star Spot?
Star Spot is a weekly Instagram Live interview series launched in 2020. Episodes run between 15–25 minutes and spotlight past ICMA winners from around the world — including rising talents and Grammy or Emmy-recognized artists.
Each episode offers an authentic conversation where musicians share their:
-
Personal journeys
-
Cultural backgrounds
-
Musical influences
-
Creative process and inspirations
This series was created to give artists increased visibility, credibility, and global connection.
Why Star Spot Stands Out
What makes Star Spot different is its genuine, human approach to music interviews. Rather than flashy, commercial content, we focus on real conversations that go deep — exploring the emotional and cultural layers behind the music.
At the heart of the series is our host, Merry M Pour, who brings a warm, empathetic energy to each interview. Her ability to connect with artists on a deeper level transforms every episode into something truly special.
Behind the scenes, the series is produced by Shahed Mohseni Zonoozi, founder of the InterContinental Music Awards, whose mission has always been to spotlight underrepresented talent and promote global musical diversity.
Notable Guests and Impact
So far, Star Spot has featured a powerful mix of voices, including:
-
Darlene Koldenhoven – Grammy-winning vocalist
-
Radhika Vekaria – Grammy-nominated artist and healer
-
Dozens of independent artists from across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas
Beyond the live sessions, each episode is published as a written blog post on our website!
Artists have told us that appearing on Star Spot helped them:
✔ Land new gigs and collaborations
✔ Reach global audiences
✔ Grow beyond their local markets
