Tarek from Spring King is up for Music Producers Guild Award

Tarek Musa from Spring King is up for a big production award. The winners of The Music Producers Guild Awards will be announced on 16th February next year at a posh Grosvenor House bash, with judging taking place on 5th February. Our Tarek is up for ‘Self Producing Artist Of The Year’, where he’ll take on James Blake (never heard of him) and Jeff Lynne (nah, not a clue). Sarcasm works on the internet now, right?

Others up for gongs include Josh Homme, Paul Epworth and Nigel Godrich, with Radiohead will take on Calvin, Rihanna and Zayn for single of the year. That should be fun.
