“As an engineer and mixer myself, I am acutely aware that so many of the most talented people in the industry never get the recognition they deserve,” stated PENSADO. “With the typical music award focusing on the pop diva, the chart topping band or the ubiquitous producer, the PENSADO AWARDS will shine the light on an often-ignored part of the process. In doing so, the program celebrates the cutting-edge technology and art of creation of music.”
“We are very thrilled about the opportunity to put on an awards show that is by the people and for the people,' HERB TRAWICK stated. “The buzz has been electric, and we are already talking about making this an annual event.”
