(Rosemead, California) – Mr. Sam Hankins, the Band Director of Don Bosco Technical Institute, did it again! Mr. Hankins walked away with several top awards at the 2025 Indie Music Channel Awards on August 31. He earned Best Producer, Best Jazz Video under $5,000, and Best Special Demo. He also won Demo of the Year for his latest single, “Here We Go.” The international award ceremony took place at the Hang on to the Dream Theater in Hollywood, a venue where Sam’s band performed this past summer.

Read all about Sam and listen to his amazing Jazz, Smooth Jazz, and R&B at Indie Music Channel – The Sam Hankins Page. “From my many years of working with different producers and in various studios, I’ve learned what people like to listen to, and generally they love music that keeps things simple,” says Hankins. “As a composer, I always want to write songs that uplift people’s spirits and make them happy, or get them thinking about things.”
