Her current Artists include Umair Jaswal (pictured right ) who has won numerous National and International Awards for his vocals including IndieGO Best Rock Vocalist in Asia in 2012 and is currently setting Pakistan on fire with his Coke Studio Mega hit Sammi Meri Waar, Umair will be touring globally in 2016 as well as launching his acting career.Umair has close to 500,000 followers on his FB page and we expect his following to soar past 1 million very soon.

Eva shares:
"I was super excited when Siva asked me to be global judge because I know how much VIMA Awards and other the Awards SIva has spearheaded through the years to support Indie Music Scene can help take an artist to another level because of my 1st hand experience with my own artists. I love being introduced to new artists that are unique , fresh and full of passion and I am sure as a Judge I will not be disappointed in the talent that is presented.
One of the Artist's that is chosen by VIMA 2016 I will showcase on my Grammy page, Music2Deal Industry site for a month in hopes of expanding the reach of their music."
