An American string quartet and an EDM DJ tops this year's MyFABE Music Awards.  The Kronos Quartet and Zedd win four and three awards each in this year's awards.

This is the first time a classical act tops the awards as the Kronos Quartet had two wins in the new classical category (Classical Act and Classical song - for The Beatitudes), the Movie/Musical/TV Song of the Year (The Beatitudes again from the Oscar-winning movie La Grande Belleza) and Instrumental/Acapella Song of the Year.

On the other hand, DJ Zedd won two of the four most coveted trophies of the night, Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for True Colors. He also won Dance Act of the Year.

The American new wave band Walk the Moon got the coveted Record of the Year award and another DJ production GTA got the New Artist of the Year award.
