Peppi Hendrix is the CEO & Founder and Executive Producer of the South Florida Gospel Music Awards (SFGMA)
 
Hello and welcome to the official home of the South Florida Gospel Music Awards (SFGMA) website. We are so honored that you stopped by to pay us a visit at our new website. The South Florida Gospel Music Awards was founded in August 2004 by Mr. Peppi Hendrix. Then known as the Palm Beach Gospel Music Awards, Peppi's vision was to promote the level of visibility of gospel music and artist in the greater Palm Beach area.
Having seen wisdom to dream even bigger dreams, the Palm Beach Gospel Music Awards (PBGMA) has now been renamed the South Florida Gospel Music Awards (SFGMA) to encompass all of the South Florida region from Port St. Lucie to Miami-Dade counties and those in between which will bring even more visibility to gospel music and local artist.

Founded by Peppi Hendrix in 2004, the South Florida Gospel Music Awards has seen tremendous growth and development since its inception. The South Florida gospel community has rallied around this most worthy cause. The Awards has boasted such corporate sponsorships as State Farm Insurance, Christian Business Pages, and Geffen Records just to name a few. Many popular national and local gospel figures have graced our stage either as presenters and/or performers. Such artist as #1 Jimmy Hicks & the VOI, Rawsrvnt, Redeem, The Chenaniah Praise Dancers, LaNorris McFadden & PROOF, Terrion Nelson, Professor Stephen English of the Miami Mass Choir, Raymel Menefee (V.P. of Urban Artist for Geffen Record), Andre Montell (Amir Records), Promoter Jimmy Bo Horne, Debrah Hall (Founder-South Florida Gospel News & Senior Publicist for the Barome Agency), James Smith & Nu Birth, Darlene Spence, and Wille Smith & Hopewell Baptist Church Choir, are just a few. There have also been several dignitaries that have graced our stage as Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters, FL. State Rep. Priscilla Taylor, Palm Beach County Commissioner Addie Greene, FL. State Senator Mandy Dawson, and many others. Such gospel radio industry personalities as Frsicoe (B106.3 FM),  Bro Jo Riley (WMBM-Miami), Pastor Lydia Goodin (WMBM-Miami/Florida Gospel Announcer’s Guild State President) and late great Palm Beach’s Sanford Ward have graced us with their presence. We are expecting many gospel announcers’ and record executives once again at this year’s festivities.

This year 2009 promises to be an explosive year for the 2009 SFGMA Awards. We have transitioned the awards into an entire weekend full of concerts, seminars, and workshops. The dates for the SFGMA Awards weekend are November 6 & 7, 2009. We will begin our with our 2009 Kick Off Celebration featuring a national recording artist.  Saturday will feature a VIP Brunch and a day of seminars and workshops. We will culminate with the SFGMA awards. Keep checking back daily for updates.
