The Anugerah Musik Indonesia (lit. 'Indonesian Music Awards'), also known as AMI or colloquially AMI Awards, is an annual Indonesian music award ceremony to recognize outstanding achievements in improving the quality and quantity of artists in the mainly Indonesian-language music industry. It has been compared to the American Grammy Awards and British Brit Awards. It provides recognition of the music industry similar to other entertainment ceremonies, such as the Indonesian Television Awards, Festival Film Indonesia, or the Indonesian Movie Actors Awards.

History

The awards were formalized as the Indonesian Music Awards in 1997 as a joint project between ASIRI (Recording Industry Association of Indonesia), PAPPRI (Singers, Songwriters, and Music Record Producers Association of Indonesia), and KCI (Copyright Office of Indonesia).[1]

Organization

Each of the three founding organizations originally contributed one board member, under the direction of Indonesian country singer Tantowi Yahya. Under this board was another, less powerful board. Afterward, further divisions were added based on specialization, including Marketing, Communication, and Membership.[1] In 2016, Indonesian jazz musician Dwiki Dharmawan replaced Yahya as chairman.[2]

Award categories

The Anugerah Musik Indonesia awards are issued in several categories, each of which isolates a specific contribution to music. Anugerah Musik Indonesia (AMI) categories have been added and removed over time.[3] The 2010 awards had 35 categories,[1] while the 2011 awards had 46.[3] As of 2025, the awards included 62 categories.[4]

The general awards include several awards not restricted by musical genre:

  • "Best of the Best Newcomer" is awarded to a promising breakthrough performer.
  • "Best of the Best Album" is awarded to the performer and the production team of a full album.
  • "Best of the Best Production Work" is awarded to the writer(s)/composer(s) of a song and also the performer.

Other awards are given to performances and productions in different musical genres, as well as for other contributions such as artwork. The Anugerah Musik Indonesia also presents special awards given for longer-lasting contributions to the Indonesian music industry, such as the AMI Legend Award and Lifetime Achievement Award (which is not presented every year).[5]
