The leading luminaries of the independent music world came together on Tuesday night at Billboard’s Indie Power Players event.

Following Russ, G59 Records partner/$uicideBoy$ manager Dana Biondi accepted the award for Executive of the Year, for building his company’s business from the ground up almost entirely outside of the mainstream; and Peso Pluma appeared to honor his cousin and fellow Double P Records artist Tito Double P with the Billboard Indie Power Player of the Year Award, giving a speech in English and Spanish. Finally, cover star “Weird Al” Yankovic was honored with the Billboard Indie Spirit Award, a nod to his 40-plus years as a trailblazing artist, satirist and all-around hilarious and positive person in the music world. “Apparently, when you start your recording career by playing your accordion next to a urinal in a public men’s room, you get an indie cred card for life,” he quipped.
