Unsung heroes of Aotearoa music celebrated tonight at the Artisan Awards

Five big winners announced during pre-recorded Three broadcast

The fifth annual AMA Artisan Awards were held this evening, celebrating the Kiwis behind some of our most successful musicians.

In place of a live event, this year’s Artisan Awards were pre-recorded at Massey University’s School of Music and Creative Media Production in Wellington and broadcast on Three this evening.

This year’s winner of Te Kaiwhakaputa Toa | Massey University Best Producer is Josh Fountain, one of Aotearoa’s most in-demand producers and a powerhouse of production and songwriting.

Winning the award for the second year running, he’s worked with international success story BENEE on some of her biggest hits, as well as previous Tui winner MAALA and 2020 AMA finalist Paige.

Taking out Te Kaipukaha Toa | Best Engineer was Simon Gooding for his work on Reb Fountain’s self-titled album, which is up for three Tui at this year’s Aotearoa Music Awards on Sunday.

First time Artisan Award nominee Anahera Parata received the Tui for Te Puoro Ataata Toa | NZ On Air Best Music Video after creating a powerful music video for Onehunga hip hop group SWIDT’s song ‘Bunga’.

Wellington-based artist Lily Paris West was recognised for her work on Mermaiden’s album artwork for Look Me In The Eye and was presented with the Tui for Te Toi Ataata Pukaemi Toa | Best Album Artwork.

Recorded Music New Zealand CEO Damian Vaughan said Aotearoa is lucky to have such gifted behind-the-scenes talent.

“Our music is finding success all over the world. Our artists deserve immense credit, but they wouldn’t be where they are without the efforts of our incredible producers, engineers, creative artists and managers.

“It’s been a challenging year but it’s essential to take a step back, to reflect and acknowledge the incredible work that’s been released. Thank you to our winners and finalists for collaborating with our musicians and bringing their creative visions to life.”

The Kaiwhakahaere Puoro o te Tau | Recorded Music NZ Manager of the Year was presented at the Artisan Awards by the Music Managers Forum (NZ) to Paul McKessar from CRS Management.

For the past 15 years he has been a director of CRS Music Management and currently manages several high-profile artists like BENEE, Miss June and Brooke Fraser among others.

Music Managers Forum (NZ) chair Teresa Patterson said it was exciting to celebrate Paul’s career at the 2020 Artisan Awards.

“Music managers are an important part of an artist’s success, someone to share in the highs and the lows that come with working in the music industry. It’s great to be able to celebrate their contribution to the careers of our favourite Kiwi musicians,” says Patterson. 

The 2020 Artisan Awards is available to stream now on ThreeLive. The Aotearoa Music Awards will take place Sunday 15 November at Spark Arena and will be broadcast live on The Edge TV from 7pm and continue on Three from 8.30pm.

The entire broadcast will be streamed on ThreeNow, and public tickets are also available from Ticketmaster for only $25.

“It is imperative as we continue to navigate through these times and the difficulties we all face due to COVID that the Aotearoa Music Awards continue to not only be a light for our music community and their achievements but a focal point for our industry and the NZ public to rally around our music whanau,” says Vaughan.

“Our musicians and their music are always there for us in times of shared experience and when tragedy strikes, and now more than ever our artists need to be celebrated and supported so they can continue to make music and bring us all together.

“But while we celebrate our artists, it’s important the 2020 awards also shine a light on the industry at large in these challenging times and the work groups like MusicHelps and others have undertaken to support and help people in the industry who were most impacted by COVID.

“It makes me proud to be a part of the ever-evolving and growing local music industry. We can’t wait to celebrate our music at the reinvented Aotearoa Music Awards for 2020. Mā te puoro, ka tuia.”

The decision to rebrand the awards aligns with continued efforts over the years to recognise Aotearoa’s tangata whenua and te reo Māori as the first language of New Zealand, as well as the importance of Te Ao Māori in our lives.

The recipients of the Te Toa Hoko Teitei, | Highest Selling Artist, NZ On Air Te Rikoata Marakerake o te Tau | Radio Airplay Record of the Year, Te Kōwhiri o te Nuinga | People’s Choice, and the Tohu Tutuki o te Ao | International Achievement Award will be announced on the night at the 2020 Aotearoa Music Awards.

AOTEAROA TOURING PROGRAMME IS NOW OPEN

The New Zealand Music Commission Te Reo Reka Aotearoa is pleased to announce the Aotearoa Touring Programme, which opens for applications today.

One of the initiatives in the Government’s New Zealand Music Recovery Fund, the Aotearoa Touring Programme is part of the Manatū Taonga Ministry of Culture & Heritage led Arts & Culture COVID Recovery Programme, which is focused on the recovery, regeneration and revitalisation of the cultural sector.

Through the Aotearoa Touring Programme, the Music Commission will support both emerging and established artists to undertake tours of New Zealand, with a focus on projects which will take original, live local music to regions and audiences across Aotearoa. 

The Aotearoa Touring Programme is intended to help reinvigorate the live music sector and assist in the recovery from the effects of COVID-19 in the domestic touring market. This Programme will invest in national touring costs, to enable more New Zealand artists to grow sustainable careers and increase the access to live music for local audiences.

The Programme is a matched investment scheme, where artists (or their representatives) can apply for 50% of eligible costs for a New Zealand tour.

Music Commission Chair Victoria Blood said “Live music is a hugely important part of the cultural landscape in New Zealand and our biggest employer of music workers.  But in the COVID environment, people who rely on live music to make a living were the first to have to close their doors, and will probably be the last to fully re-open. Music makes everything better, and we’re hoping this fund will help make things better not just for our artists and the people and businesses that support them, but for all New Zealanders to get out and enjoy a wide variety of amazing live New Zealand music.”

Anna Butler, Deputy Chief Executive Policy and Sector Performance | Pou Mataaho o Te Aka, Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture & Heritage says funding New Zealand artists to perform live music on tour will allow certainty in planning and contribute to Aotearoa’s recovery from the impact of COVID-19. 

“We acknowledge the challenges Aotearoa’s music sector has encountered due to COVID-19. This funding will help get musicians back out on the road again, performing original live music to appreciative audiences.

As well as supporting artists, it will also benefit those involved with bringing tours to life – from venues to supporting musicians, security to sound and lighting providers.”
