New York, NY (PRFE) July 6, 2009 — Flight Squad, an urban recording act based out of Miami, FL has received an official invite to attend the 2009 Urban Music Awards held on July 17th, 2009 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.  They will be competing for a chance to win the category of "America's Next Urban Superstar." Since releasing their premiere title "Certified Authentic,"  the collective has seen forthwith success, primary through international word-of-mouth buzz.
Consistent with current trends within the music industry, the group has benefited greatly from digital downloads, given an adapting industry structure that has seen a decline in the neighborhood based "record store" and a shift toward the expansive global reach of the internet. The UMA's are held in six countries annually and give the public full deciding power on their nominees and winners.
Activities will be webcast live to millions of viewers worldwide and televised for broadcast via 12 channels across the USA, Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. An estimated audience of over 48 million viewers will have the opportunity to watch the awards show.
Invincible Media Group, is the official sponsor of the UMA's "America's Next Urban Superstar" category.  Based out of London with offices in the United Kingdom, USA, Germany, France, and the Caribbean, Invincible is the international parent group of companies behind Invincible Magazine, ICM (Invincible Celebrity Management), Invincible Radio, Invincible Television, and Invincible films, Invincible Jeans, Invincible Events and Invincible Mobile.
Other notable UMA nominees include Eminem (Comeback Single – Crack a Bottle), Lil Wayne (Artist of the Year), and Rihanna (Best R&B Act).
