Music News - Finalists Announced for the 2017 MMF Music Managers Awards
11 April 2017 - 0 Comments
The New Zealand Music Managers Forum with support from the NZ
Music Commission, Recorded Music NZ and OneMusic is proud to announce the
finalists for the 2017 Music Managers Awards.
The relationship between artists and managers is one of the strongest and most
important in the music industry, and for thirteen years the MMF Music Managers
Awards have been celebrating the importance of the people at the centre of this
relationship who are shaping the careers of New Zealand’s biggest
artists.
Out of view of the public eye, music managers work hard to strategise and build
an artist’s career in the ever changing and evolving landscape of the music
industry and choosing a manager is one of the most important decisions an
artist will make.
The award categories include NZ Manager of the Year, Breakthrough Manager of
the Year, International Achievement, Self-Managed Artist of the Year, Best
Independent Tour, Best Small Venue and Best Large Venue. Another award category
has also been created this year for Emerging Manager of the Year, recognising
the achievements of the new managers in the industry.
Also awarded on the night are the Industry Champion Award as voted for by MMF
members, and the MMF Mentoring Achievement Award as voted for by MMF Mentors.
The MMF Music Managers Awards will be held at The Tuning Fork in Auckland on
Wednesday 10 May with the attendance of managers, industry professionals, and
artists.
