The rapper, from Enfield, N.S., produced the tune, which also samples a song from emerging Cape Breton-born, Halifax based singer-songwriter Dave Sampson.<\/p>\n

Classified also produced Ria Mae’s self-titled album, which captured the award for Solo Recording of the year. Mae’s album featuring “Clothes Off” became a smash hit on the Canadian radio charts and grabbed a Juno nomination for single of the year — a category based on sales.<\/p>\n

The awards show, hosted by comedian James Mullinger, was held in Saint John, N.B.<\/p>\n

The show featured live performances by David Myles, Classified, Ria Mae, Tomato\/Tomato, and others.<\/p>\n

Old Man Luedecke captured Album of the Year for his Domestic Eccentric. Produced by Tim O’Brien, the album was recorded in a small cabin in the snowy Nova Scotia woods.<\/p>\n

Les Hotesses d’Hilaire walked away with two awards on the night — Francophone Recording of the Year and Group Recording of the Year.<\/p>\n

Tristan Horncastle had the Country Recording of the Year with “Turnin’ Up a Sundown.”<\/p>\n

Ever-popular Lennie Gallant was named the Fans’ Choice Entertainer of the year.<\/p>\n

The East Coast Music Association is a regional collaboration of people in the music industry to foster, develop and celebrate East Coast music and its artists.<\/p>\n

“Once again, the awards show proved to be an excellent way to kick off the ECMAs,” said Andy McLean, the group’s executive director.<\/p>\n

Industry sessions and local performances continue though the weekend.<\/p>\n

Other winners Thursday night included War Horses for Indigenous Artist of the Year, and The Motorleague with Rock Recording of the Year for “Holding Patterns.”<\/p>\n

Like a Motorcycle took home the coveted Rising Star Recording of the Year award for their hard-driving rock tune “High Hopes.”<\/p>\n

The remaining 2017 East Coast Music Awards, including the Industry Awards, will be handed out over the course of the weekend as the festival continues in Saint John.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
