MANILA -- Newcomers are poised to dominate the awards show of MYX Philippines this year.

Shanti Dope, Moira dela Torre, and IV of Spades -- all of whom have only a single album under their belts -- could all take home major awards at the MYX Music Awards 2019 this May.

Focus will be particularly on Shanti Dope, who scored a rare feat by being nominated as New Artist of the Year and Artist of the Year --a testament to the rapper's meteoric rise to fame.

He is tied with dela Torre for the most nominations with seven, with IV of Spades coming just behind them with five.

But Nadine Lustre and Darren Espanto, who have massive fanbases online, are also nominated in key categories, which, in a voting-based system, could earn them wins.

Juan Karlos Labajo was nominated in the Song of Year category for "Buwan," which, interestingly enough, has more views than all of the ones nominated for Music Video of the Year on YouTube combined. It did not receive a nod in that category.

Indie band Ben&Ben has three nominations and could also win Song of the Year with "Kathang Isip."
