KARMA ARTISTS, MOGWAI HONORED
10/28/21

More winners have been announced for the upcoming Artist and Manager Awards, with Karma Artists set to receive the Writer/Producer Manager gong while Mogwai will take home the Pioneer honor.

Karma Artists, founded by Jordan Jay and Ross Gautreau in 2011, will be celebrated for its work in shepherding the careers of creators who’ve contributed to more than 10 U.K. #1 albums and 400m sales.

This year, Karma clients have been credited on hits including “One Too Many” (Keith Urban & P!nk), “Lighter” (Nathan Dawe & KSI), “See Nobody” (Wes Nelson & Hardy Caprio), “Patience” (KSI f/YUNGBLUD & Polo G) and “Way Too Long” (Nathan Dawe, Anne-Marie & MoStack).

Glasgow band Mogwai will be celebrated for 25 years in music and the release of their 10th album, As the Love Continues, which hit #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart in February. The set was shortlisted for the 2021 Mercury Prize and claimed the Scottish Album of the Year Award.

Alongside their own musical output, which includes multiple film soundtracks and series, Mogwai have been chosen winners for their work developing other artists through Rock Action Records. They’ll embark in a world tour in January, visiting Europe, Mexico, North America and Canada.

All winners will be celebrated at a ceremony in London on 11/18. Previously announced honorees include Elton John and David Furnish, Little Simz, Amy Morgan, Grace Ladoja and The Black Music Coalition.
