The Music Producers Guild, the professional organisation that represents those working in music production and recording professions, has announced three new appointments to its executive board.
Mika Sellens, Eve Horne and Catherine Marks will join Cameron Craig and Matt Taylor on the board, following a vote by MPG Full Members at an Extraordinary General Meeting in London on 22 September.
Mika Sellens has been an active full member of the MPG for some time, as well as the networks 2% Rising and Mamas in Music. Commenting on her appointment, she says, ‘I’m looking forward to working with the other MPG board directors. I am passionate about making lasting positive change in this industry, amplifying diverse voices in the producer and engineer community and advocating for music creators.’
Eve Horne, singer, songwriter, producer, campaigner and MPG Diversity Taskforce representative, says, ‘I’m beyond grateful and thrilled to be voted in as a board member for the MPG. I am excited to be joining an amazing team and working together to make positive change for our members, women of colour, the LGBTQIA+ community and the music industry! Thank you.’
Catherine Marks, who has been awarded multiple MPG Awards, including Breakthrough Producer of the Year and Producer of the Year, says, ‘It is such an honour to be elected and be a part of a community that has been striving to make a difference. I’m really excited to be given the opportunity to represent my peers and work alongside the board to help navigate the challenges that face our rapidly changing industry.'
