Following a ceremony held at The Troxy in London, UK, the MPG have announced the full list of this year’s MPG Awards winners. Now in its 16th year, the annual event was set up to recognise and acknowledge the talent of those working behind the scenes in the music industry, with categories dedicated to producing, mixing, mastering, writing and more. For the first time ever, women represented 50% of the nominees, and for the third year running, made up 50% of the winners.
“Congratulations to all the winners. What a fantastic year. The MPG awards are now firmly one of the premier events in the calendar, and last night’s deserved winners reflects that. The MPG is all about growing and sustaining the talent pipeline and seeing winners either be presented or present awards to their mentors echoes the feeling of the wider community.” - Matt Taylor, Executive Director, MPG
