Nominations for the NZ Music Managers Forum’s (MMF) 2018 Music Managers Awards are now open!
Now in its 14th year, the awards are a reminder of all the hard work that takes place out of view of the public to launch and maintain an artists career.
In 2017 Alastair Burns was awarded the Recorded Music NZ ‘Manager of the Year’ Award for his work with Marlon Williams and Julia Jacklin.
The NZ Music Commission ‘International Achievement’ Award was given to Julie Foa’i for her work with Te Vaka who was hired by Walt Disney for the Moana movie soundtrack.
Last year, a new award called ‘Emerging Manager’ was introduced for those who had just started managing in the last two years. This award was won by Nicole Thomas and Paula Yeoman for their work with the artist Theia.

The NZ MMF is the collective voice for music managers and self-managed artists. The MMF is a non-profit trade association dedicated to helping grow artist manager businesses through education, networking, and advocacy.
The ultimate aim of the MMF is to improve music managers’ capacity to support the careers of the artists they represent.
