This year’s Music Business UK Awards are now just days away (11 to be precise), and Spotify has now been confirmed as returning sponsor of the Contemporary Black Music category.
Preye Crooks of Robots + Humans triumphed last year, and he’s in the running again this year alongside a stellar line-up of A&R superstars from across the industry. You can see all the finalists in every category here.
Andy Sloan-Vincent, Head of Music, Northern Europe, Spotify, commented: “At Spotify, we work every day to champion Black voices on our platform, so it’s a privilege to have the opportunity to celebrate the creators and executives who shape culture from behind the scenes too.
“The Music Business UK Awards shine a light on those trailblazers driving contemporary Black music forward, and in doing so help to inspire the next generation of leaders.”
