FKA Twigs To Receive Music Producers Guild Award
FKA Twigs is to be honoured with the Music Producers Guild Award For Outstanding Contribution To UK Music.
The award is presented to a person who has made an outstanding contribution to the music industry. Previous winners include Susan Rogers, Joan Armatrading, Fraser T Smith, Hugh Padgham, Youth, Paul Epworth and George Martin.
The announcement comes before the full 2024 MPG Award winners are revealed on 25 April at new venue, The Troxy, London.
The star commented, “I’m really honoured to be receiving the award for outstanding contribution to UK music. It means so much to me because the MPG awards are truly industry facing and acknowledge the talented people who are still chained to the desk past midnight.
“The fact that for over a decade I have been able to write and produce my own music and still take part in all the glitz and glamour is truly a testament not only to my dedication to my art but also to all of the amazing collaborators I have worked with and learnt from over the past decade. This award is for all of us.”
Peter Leathem, CEO of award sponsors PPL, said: “FKA twigs is, and has always been, the definition of a trailblazer in the music industry. This award recognises a phenomenal singer, songwriter and performer who throughout her career has shown endless creativity through song and dance, to create some of the most visually and sonically captivating music from the UK in the last decade. Her commitment and focus to doing things differently and challenging the status quo, make her a worthy recipient of the MPG Award For Outstanding Contribution to UK Music. Congratulations to FKA twigs from all at PPL on this much deserved accolade.”
