The Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA’s) recognizes and honors the music of artists from around the globe for their compositions and recordings in all forms of media. http://www.hmmawards.org/

This years HMMA is recognizing Steve Cooke twice, firstly in the “Best Music Video” category for his single “RADIO” and secondly for his second single “Gravity” in the “Best Song” AC/AAA category.

In the “RADIO” video, Steve Cooke sings and plays guitar with Adam Lambert band members, guitarist Monte Pittman and bassist Tommy Joe Ratliff. The veteran Heart Breaker Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty) joins the boys on drums.

The nominated Best AC/AAA Song “Gravity” is also accompanied with a music video, featuring the original musicians from the twenty song, Lambert and Cooke epic double album.

Monte Pittman and his fellow Madonna band members, Marcus Brown (Seal/Tina Turner) on bass and Steve Sidelnyk (Seal/Citizen Vein) on drums, joined Steve Cooke in the video production for this second single. Extra riffs and lead breaks are played by Phil X, who is currently touring with Bon Jovi.

“The filming of “Gravity” was a blast and I guess it set us up for the “RADIO” shoot two weeks later. Our concept for “Radio” was to span the generations and I think we achieved that in this video, I’m just so happy that both singles have made it into the awards” said Steve Cooke.

“The Paramount Sessions” has just been released worldwide. It features two discs, one with ten songs from the pre-Idol voice of Adam Lambert and the other disc featuring ten songs sung by Steve Cooke.

This deluxe set combines the two singers with the same author, backing band and production house (Paramount Studios, Hollywood). Here we have power house, soulful vocals from two outstanding singers. It’s a twenty song journey, that’s packed with power ballads and stories of love and loss.

Good luck Steve, we’re crossing the fingers that you’ll have something to bring home on the night!
