At this year’s event, Neumann sponsored the prestigious Producer of the Year award, recognising outstanding talent making waves in the field. The honour went to Chris Collins, an artist and producer whose journey began as a teenager playing in bands before evolving into a highly respected solo artist and producer, known for his work with Royel Otis, Matt Corby, The Buoys and more. Check out a recap of last year’s award below.
“Excited to get this MPEG Producer of the Year award,” Collins said when accepting the award. “This means a lot – growing up playing in bands, I had the chance to work with some great Australian producers who really influenced me. To now be in the same pool is something really special. Huge thanks to Neumann for supporting the award, the Producers Guild for celebrating and backing all the incredible production coming out of Australia, and to all the artists I get to work with. I feel very lucky.”
In recognition of technical excellence, long-time Neumann user Lachlan Carrick was named Mastering Engineer of the Year, highlighting his contributions to shaping the final sound of countless records. Another Neumann collaborator, Stefan Du Randt, took home the award for Mixing Engineer of the Year for his second year in a row.
