The Scholarship Committee — Barbie Quinn, BMI and AIMP LA Chapter Secretary; Eric Polin, Universal Pictures and AIMP LA Chapter Board Member; Kathy Spanberger, peermusic and former AIMP LA Chapter President; and Liz Redwing, AIMP Administrative Director — reviewed many qualified applicants and recommended Hawelu, who was unanimously confirmed by the AIMP LA Chapter Board of Directors. ![]() Justine Hawelu “I am extremely honored to receive this incredible scholarship from the AIMP,” said Hawelu. “This award will be incredibly helpful as I continue my education at Cal Poly Pomona, embrace this ever-evolving industry, and work toward inspiring other women like Linda Komorsky Liker inspired me.” Hawelu is currently interning at a virtual music venue called The Den as their Floor Director. She was also named the 2021 recipient of the NAMM President’s Innovation Award and participated as a panelist at NextGen (NAMM) and Vibe Movement during her time at Cal Poly Pomona. “The AIMP is proud to announce Justine Hawelu as the recipient of the Linda Komorsky Liker AIMP Scholarship,” said Teri Nelson Carpenter, Los Angeles Chapter President of the AIMP, as well as President and CEO of Reel Muzik Werks, LLC. “Justine’s academic achievements, as well as her work outside the classroom, are inspiring. She is a shining example of the type of person we strive to honor each year with this award. Barbie Quinn, Scholarship Committee Chairperson, added, “Since we began the AIMP Scholarship program two years ago, we’ve had the pleasure of choosing a deserving student from an abundance of qualified candidates that have applied. The future of the music business and independent music publishing is truly bright thanks to individuals like Justine.” In addition to Hawelu’s scholarship presentation, the May 20th “All About NFTs” webinar featured a conversation with panelists Alexandra Damsker (Attorney), and Kay Hanley (Co-Executive Director, SONA). They discussed smart contracts vs. underlying rights contracts, the technology of tokens, and rights issues and concerns for music rights-holders interested in selling music copyrights as NFTs. The panel was moderated by Abby North (Principal, North Music Group, AIMP LA Chapter Board Member). To become an AIMP member or check your membership status, visit www.aimp.org/register.
