About this concert
WYCE 88.1 FM is proud to present West Michigan’s premier music awards show, the Jammie Awards, for the 23rd year. WYCE has also partnered with Michigan Music Alliance to present the second annual Ovation Awards, a music community changemaker recognition.
Founded in 1999, the Jammie Awards is a music event celebrating the talented array of musicians here in Michigan. The event is intended to highlight our diverse, high quality music community, strengthening the relationship between artists and listeners in West Michigan.
West Michigan’s largest collaborative musical event will take place on Friday, February 24th at The Intersection in Grand Rapids. Performances from over 20 local artists are the highlight of the evening, many being first-time Jammie performers including Myron Elkins, Elijah Russ, Cal In Red, Nathan Walton and the Remedy, Cole Hanson, La Furia Del Ritmo, and supergroup Moss Manor.
In addition to the Jammie Music Awards, WYCE is excited to partner with Michigan Music Alliance to present the second annual Ovation Awards. In the spirit of “collaboration over competition” the Ovations are awards that focus on what matters most: the community the music scene has built and the individuals who contribute to creating that community.
Entry to the all-ages event is a suggested donation of $5, which supports the independent radio station’s mission of “building community through media”. WYCE has also partnered with Feeding America West Michigan to raise support for relieving hunger and increasing food security in West Michigan. Canned donations will be accepted at the door. In 2019, over 200 pounds of food were collected at the Jammie Awards. Several area nonprofits will also be on site to connect with the community and spread awareness for their causes.
Save the date for Jammies XXIII: Friday, February 24th!

ABOUT SIXMAN:
Every fabric of Sixman’s being is quilted in Hip Hop. It’s visible in his eyes. It streams from his pores and propels his movements forward. The thread of the culture is sown into his rhymes. He speaks hip hop. He lives hip hop.
Right now, Sixman’s life is all about his album The Fix, released December 11, 2020 on his imprint FAM ENT. Noted as “the new boom bap sound”, the 12-track set is produced entirely by acclaimed producer Tommy Vamoz. Its quality is equivalent to 10,000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. His second album with Vamoz, it comes 9 years after their classic 2011 LP The Greenhouse.
Featuring his most influential and thought-provoking lyrics to date, Sixman was personally and professionally inspired by the pain of the Covid-19 pandemic, the widespread social conflict against systemic racism, and the drug-addiction crisis in America.
Scoring early hits with “Black Sinatra” featuring General Steele (of Smiff-N-Wessun), “Bad Mutha”, and “Snake Shit” featuring El Da Sensei, The Fix was preceded by The Fix: Short Documentary with Sixman. The well-received film led to him signing a deal with Lee Pro Films to further distribute the art piece.
Originally from Grand Rapids, MI and now residing in Atlanta, GA, Sixman’s childhood diet consisted of equal parts Sesame Street, social awareness and history, and Hip Hop culture. He digested everything.
Growing up to become a skilled, respected Hip Hop artist, graphic designer, film director and editor, Sixman served his first recorded single “Who Am I” in 1999. It was one of the first Hip Hop songs to stream online and it received positive feedback from around the world.
Before long Sixman began touring internationally, blazing such stages as Amsterdam Summer Festival. He also found himself regularly on tickets with top acts like Parish Smith, Redman, and The Alkaholiks among others. Eventually Sixman started headlining his own shows while he meticulously built loyal fan support in Europe. Back in the states he followed The Green House with God Bless with DJ Game Ova in 2013, I Love Dilla in 2014, and both the EP Re-Connect and DVD film Already Famous in 2015.
In 2018 Sixman released The Grand, his love letter to his native Grand Rapids. Praised for its lyricism and beat selection, the mixtape/album scored big with singles “Authentic”, “Breathe”, and “Maybach Dreams” (featuring JC). Sixman made a ceremonious return to Grand Rapids that same year for the release of Last King which is produced entirely by DJ Supa Dave. It was his most successful and acclaimed LP before The Fix.
From ’18 through 2019 Sixman toured heavily in the states and internationally, with marquee dates at SXSW and A3C. These were followed by a headlining European tour that including the legendary de Rauwe School in Amsterdam. On the strength of singles “Great Escape” featuring PaceWon, “Aprendi” featuring Flame Killer, “Pray for My Enemies”, and “Meditation”, Sixman’s relentless efforts and critical praise would lead him to receive face-to-face compliments from the legendary Hip Hop icon DJ Premier.
