A&M'S ADD HONOREES

11/8/23

More winners have been revealed ahead of this month’s Artist & Manager Awards in London, with Jorja Smith, Tinie Tempah and the band formerly known as Easy Life among the honorees.

Smith will receive Artist of the Year following the arrival of her second album, falling or flying (FAMM), which hit #3 in the U.K. earlier this year.

Tempah and his full-service creative agency, Imhotep, will be honored with Entrepreneur of the Year. The latter reps songwriters and producers who have worked with Drake, Dave, Central Cee, Alicia Keys and others.

The band formerly known as Easy Life (who’ve had to change their name after being sued for trademark infringement by the company easyGroup) will collect the inaugural Artists’ Voice Award. The award recognizes how they've taken to social platforms and the wider media to highlight everyday challenges faced by artists and music makers, including the impact of Brexit, the costs of touring and venue levies being imposed on artist merch sales.

Finally, Government body the Culture, Media & Sport Committee will receive the Industry Champions award for their work scrutinizing music streaming, as well as AI, Brexit and the live market.

Previously announced winners include Duran Duran and manager Wendy Laister and Central Cee manager Bello. The two awards for Breakthrough Artist and Breakthrough Manager will be announced on the night of the ceremony, 11/23.
