The winners of the 2024 Electronic Dance Music Awards have been revealed.
A highlight of this year’s Miami Music Week, the 2024 EDMA ceremony took place on Friday, March 22nd at the Eden Roc Hotel a day after EDM.com’s official pre-party. Normally a sun-kissed poolside affair, the event moved indoors as Miami was getting walloped by 2.34 inches of rain, an all-time daily record for the city.
But the weather didn’t deter the organizers of the EDMAs, which have emerged as the electronic dance music industry’s preeminent award show. Driven by its fan-based voting system, the MTV-style ceremony dishes out unique trophies as mementos, which resemble DJ decks and feature a functional jog-wheel.

This year’s winners include Martin Garrix, Alan Walker, David Guetta, Kx5 (deadmau5 and Kaskade), HALIENE, Armin van Buuren and FISHER, among other dance music superstars. Mark Knight, the influential founder of Toolroom Records, won the EDMA Icon Award.
Meanwhile, surging singer-songwriter Hayla took home two EDMAs after winning “Vocalist Of The Year” and “Dance Song Of The Year.” She nabbed the latter award for her beloved dance anthem “Where You Are,” a chart-topping collaboration with John Summit.
