MPG Awards 2012

So, dudes, the noms are out for the 2012 Music Producers Guild Awards, which will take place in London on 16 Feb. As always, the top Producer Of The Year prize will double up as the BRIT for Best Producer.

Says MPG boss Steve Levine: “An MPG Award is highly coveted by recording professionals because it represents an endorsement by your peers. Whilst anyone can nominate, only full members of the MPG are allowed to vote for the shortlist and therefore the results are relevant to the creative value of our industry. To win an MPG Award shows that you recognised to be at the top of your game as a recording professional”.
