With the 2019 A&R Awards now just a few weeks away, another major industry name has stepped forward to back the event.

YouTube Music is sponsoring the hugely prestigious Icon Award, presented to an individual whose actions have truly changed the game for the creative side of the music business, and whose influence continues to reverberate today.

Previous winners include industry legends such as Muff Winwood, Korda Marshall and Simon Cowell.

“The Icon Award is a real highlight of the night and we’re all looking forward to celebrating with the winner.”
