Music+Sound Awards 2019 Winners Announced

This week, the winners of the 8th annual global Music+Sound Awards were announced. The best of the world’s media music, sound and sync talent were celebrated and honoured for their exceptional work over the last year. 

Announced one category at a time via The Awards’ Twitter feed, 2019’s International Music+Sound Awards’ winners got their enormously deserved moment in the spotlight and the industry as a whole was championed for the tremendous value it holds within the media. Music and sound play a vital role in productions and the awards serve to highlight this and demonstrate the great talent and skill involved.  

Winners were chosen by a panel of worldwide industry professionals including Rebecca Williams, head of flm at Saatchi & Saatchi London; Till Diestel, managing creative director at BBDO, Berlin; Bas Korsten, creative partner at JWT, Amsterdam; Michael Knox, CCO at Grey, Hong Kong; Luis Almau, head of music production at Soundtree Music, London; Ben Leeves, senior sound engineer at Jungles Studios, London; and Josh Rabinowitz, music consultant at Brooklyn Music Experience, New York. The full panel can be seen here.

“Once again, support from our entrants, the jury, our esteemed sponsors and partners, who continue to value our Awards as a mark of excellence, has been overwhelming. A heartfelt thank you to all of you and huge congratulations to our winners,” said Emma Maguire, awards’ director. “Turning the spotlight on our entrants’ expertise and the vital role of their crafts has been our driving force. This year looks to have raised the benchmark for excellence even higher and we thank our winners for the inspiration they have brought about.” 

The Awards continue to support the work of music therapists, Nordoff Robbins, by donating £5 from every entry to this far-reaching charity.

 

The Music+Sound Awards are run in partnership with Krotos Audio and SixtyFour Music.
