On Thursday (May 9), the Heat Latin Music Awards (or Premios Heat) unveiled their 2024 nominees exclusively on Billboard.
This year, Karol G and Feid lead the pack with 10 nominations each. They are followed by top nominees Carin León (6); Peso Pluma, Grupo Frontera and Xavi (5); and Bad Bunny, Young Miko, Fuerza Regida, Maluma, Marshmello and Yandel with four each. Fans can vote for their favorite artists on the LosHeat.TV app.
Taking place July 11 in The Dominican Republic, the awards show — celebrating its 10th anniversary — will include 10 new categories this year: producer of the year; music video director of the year; album of the year; best viral song; composer of the year; best song for video games, series, movies; best tropical artist; best salsa artist; fan club of the year; and best religious song.
Premios Heat — founded by Colombian music executive Diana Montes — recognizes renowned and up-and-coming artists who are making a buzz in the Caribbean and Latin American regions. The event is celebrated on the beach, offering the ultimate “summer experience” to artists, media and attendees.
