Franx Paul's Named ICMA 2025 Finalist with "Deeper": The Second Historic Milestone
Shortly after the important recognition of the semifinal at the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) 2025 with 'Funky Party', Franx Paul's returns to the spotlight of the most prestigious international stages. Just three months after his official debut and with only three published tracks, the second historic milestone arrives: the final of the InterContinental Music Awards (ICMA) 2025 in the European Electronic & Techno category with the single 'Deeper (Radio Edit)'. A case that AP News, FOX40, NBC4i, WWLP, MENAFN, EIN Presswire, Expertini Wire, Music Industry Today and others define as potentially unique in the world.
What Are the InterContinental Music Awards?
The ICMA are one of the most prestigious international recognitions for independent artists, open to all musical genres and participants from every part of the world. The jury is composed of professionals from the international music industry, with rigorous selection criteria that reward technical talent, originality and artistic vision.
Reaching the final means being selected among thousands of artists from dozens of countries. An exceptional result, further amplified by two international recognitions in different competitions and musical genres within just three months.
The Single That Conquered the ICMA Jury
The official video of "Deeper" is available on Vevo and on YouTube:

An Unprecedented Record
The most extraordinary fact is not just the result itself, but the speed with which it was achieved:
3 months of activity. 3 published tracks. 1 ISC semifinal. 2 ICMA finals.
No documented apprenticeship, no support from major record labels. All results were achieved through the independent label MFTDCP8, managed directly by the artist.
Reaching the semifinal at the ISC in the EDM category and the final at the ICMA in the European Electronic & Techno category in the same period is considered an absolute record for an independent artist starting from scratch.
A Unique Artistic Model
The success of Franx Paul's is not coincidental.
In just ninety days, three tracks crossed oceans and convinced juries that listen to thousands of artists from around the world to believe in a project that resembled no other.
Independent by nature. Global by results.
It seems like an unrepeatable story, yet the third milestone arrives together with the second.
There's more to come.
