Pakistani music producer Sharif Awan has bagged three awards at the prestigious Global Music Awards (GMAs).
Held in California, during the ceremony, the award was presented to him for his exceptional production titled ‘Music in COVID Times.’
Awan expressed his gratitude and shared, “A win for music anywhere is a win for music everywhere! I congratulate all the artists from Pakistan, India, Germany and the UK who came together to create this album in the most adverse of times. May the magic of music continue to heal us.”
The GMAs, known for recognizing outstanding artistry and talent across various music genres, including jazz, classical, fusion, folk, and contemporary music, have bestowed their highest honours upon Awan’s latest work.
Produced under the banner of the Tehzeeb Foundation, ‘Music in COVID Times’ stands out as a record-breaking album, securing victories in the most coveted categories at the GMAs: Creativity/Originality, Best Album, and Best Producer.
This achievement is not the first time that Tehzeeb Foundation’s projects have garnered international acclaim. Their flagship endeavour, ‘Indus Raag – Beyond Borders,’ previously secured a gold medal at the Global Music Awards in 2016, earning a spot on the list of the Top 10 Albums of the year. Furthermore, ‘Indus Raag’ made history as Pakistan’s maiden entry into the Grammy Awards back in 2015.
