Our Living Legacy
UMA Worldwide Music Awards, based in Jonesboro, GA, is an annual red carpet celebration founded by Bernard Moore (Bemo), a passionate leader with hands-on roots in championing independent music. Bernard's journey through the Atlanta underground started as a manager guiding bold voices like T O D, L Cutta, Eden of R&B, and kashnet, witnessing firsthand how legends are often overlooked. This inspired a vision: build an event honoring icons whose stories shaped entire generations, while equally uplifting today's indie innovators. UMA carries that torch, blending elegance, recognition, and authenticity so new talent shares the same stage as established pioneers.
