Just announced! — Patrick Watson will receive the inaugural Impact Award at this year’s Canadian Sync Awards! The GMSC Impact Award is bestowed upon an individual to celebrate a lifetime of contributions and influence on music, culture, community, self-expression, and vision, as well as their profound prominence in the sync world. The Award recipient will be selected by the GMSC Sync Awards Committee annually.
“We’ve been talking about creating an Award like this since our first Canadian Sync Awards in 2018. The GMSC is proud and honoured that Patrick is our first recipient. Patrick is a rare artist whose voice, musical soundscapes and stunning lyrical phrases have captured the world - and his unique sound has contributed immensely to the sync world (and made our jobs as music supervisors much easier!)” says Michael Perlmutter, GMSC President.
“Thank you so much to GMSC and CMW - it's a huge honour. I have been very lucky to have participated in the music business for over 25 years now. I really started at the very end of the CD era and to watch how my music reaches people from then until now is so wild. All the people I have met during this adventure are by far the best part. Since we're talking about music supervisors, when I started, no label would go near me because I'm terrible at making radio hit songs. Then music supervisors started to place my music in TV shows and films which is what really kicked my career into play. I always feel very fortunate that my music was chosen for these screen moments. Thank you for all the support which allows me to make music full time, what an amazing privilege it is,” said Patrick Watson.
Be sure to get your tickets to witness this inaugural award — early bird tickets are still available until April 30, 2024, and prices will raise on May 1.
Information about performers and many other exciting details to be announced shortly.
