🎤✨ THE 2026 ISSA AWARDS RED CARPET INTERVIEWS ARE HERE! ✨🎤

Part One of our 2026 ISSA Awards red carpet interviews is now available to watch!

This first collection features the interviews conducted by Jeff Hawkins Shannon of WHIN Radio, presented in the same order our artists and guests made their way through the red carpet interview line.

Each interview can be watched individually, and artists can also download their own video to save and share. ❤️

A huge thank-you to Jeff Shannon for spending the afternoon with us, talking with our artists and guests, and helping capture so many memorable moments from this year’s Awards!

And there’s more coming! 🎬

This is only Part One of three red carpet interview segments. Interviews conducted by Michael Botte and Amy Gibaldi are being processed now and will be available soon as well!
