At Sony Music Entertainment, we honour the creative journey. Our creators shape movements, culture, communities, even history. And we’ve played a pioneering role in music history, from establishing the first-ever music label to inventing the flat disc record. We’ve nurtured some of music’s most iconic artists and produced some of the most influential recordings of all time. Today, we work in more than 100 countries, supporting a diverse and distinctive roster of talented creators at every level and on every stage. Situated at the intersection of music, entertainment, and technology, we bring imagination and expertise to emerging products and platforms, embrace new business models, and employ breakthrough tools - all to support the creative community’s experimentation, risk-taking, and growth. And we form deep, trusted, cause-based partnerships to uplift and empower communities around the world. Sony Music Entertainment is part of the global Sony family.

This year, we have a total of 45 projects and young people nominated for the Youth Music Awards, coming from all corners of the country. With 84% of our funding being outside of London, travel continues to be a major barrier for nominees attending the event. However, at Youth Music, we strive to make the awards as inclusive as possible and aim to overcome the obstacles that prevent nominee presence. With the sponsorship from Sony Music, every nominee will have the means to attend the awards, and celebrate their success with a room full of their peers and industry professionals.
