Luminate, the entertainment industry data giant, has joined the A&R Awards party – sponsoring the hugely prestigious Major Label of the Year category.
Presented by Music Business Worldwide, the A&R Awards is the UK music industry’s most enjoyable night out of the year.
It will take place at London’s Grand Connaught Rooms, on the evening of Tuesday November 7th, recognizing and celebrating the most successful UK execs, managers, producers and songwriters of the last 12 months – as well as shining the spotlight on some true industry legends.
Luminate CEO Rob Jonas said: “At Luminate, we work with partners across the whole industry to ensure that our data accurately reflects the ever-changing music ecosystem. Within that mission, Luminate and the major label groups have built a rich history of collaboration, working together to unlock insights at the intersection of growth and disruption.
“We’re pleased to present this award in recognition of these long-standing partnerships, and we look forward to continuing that work as we expand the data and insights that we’re able to share in each international market.”
Other categories at the event will include Producer of The Year; A&R of the Year: Adult Contemporary; A&R of The Year: Contemporary Black Music, A&R Of The Year: Electronic/Dance (sponsored by SoundCloud); Song of the Year and Songwriter of the year (both sponsored by Hipgnosis); Publisher of the Year (sponsored by Milk & Honey), Independent Label of The Year, and Manager of the Year (sponsored by YouTube Shorts) – as well as show-stopping special presentations such as the A&R Icon and the Sir George Martin Award.
