Ben Sciascia – Best Album Cover
Supergroove’s Postage is a ‘flashback’ album of greatest hits and the cover was designed by the band’s former guitarist Ben Sciascia. The album debuted at number 10 on the New Zealand Album Chart, remaining in the Top 20 for four weeks, and the Top 50 for seven weeks going gold a week after release.
From 1990 to 1996, Ben learned his craft designing album artwork, posters, merchandising and direct marketing for Supergroove as well as working freelance for design firm DeBeer Adams.
When Supergroove disbanded in 1996 Ben focused on design and advertising full time, forming Sciascia Brothers Advertising. (Further details below)
Chris van de Geer – Best Engineer

P-Money – Best Producer

As a producer and recording artist, P-Money received critical acclaim and international recognition for his gold selling debut album ‘P-Money – Big Things’.

Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards spokesperson Adam Holt says it’s important for technical experts to be recognised.
“Without the quality work produced by these people behind the scenes New Zealand music would be not be the force it is today.
“It is our pleasure to honour their work and the vital role they play in the ongoing success of local music.”
The remaining 22 Tuis are to be handed out by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand at an industry only event at the Aotea Centre, THE EDGE® in Auckland on September 22.
