“Receiving this prestigious honour in 2023 has profoundly impacted my journey in the music and sync industry. Thanks to this recognition, my career has experienced remarkable growth. Participating in the program facilitated invaluable connections with leading music supervisors, sync executives, publishers, and agencies nationwide. Following the program, I was equipped to navigate my career path strategically, leading me to my current role as Sync Manager at Warner Chappell Music Canada”, says Marlon Knight, 2023 recipient of “The Huey”.
The Canadian Sync Awards celebrates the craft of music supervision in filmed media in Canada with the presentation of 18 awards, including the previously announced inaugural Impact Award which will be presented to Patrick Watson.
