American Idol Creator Simon Fuller Wins ‘Outstanding’ Award

BMI’s Brandon Bakshi, Executive Director, Writer-Publisher Relations, Europe & Asia, recently attended the MMF (Music Managers Forum) Roll of Honour, where mega-manager and American Idol creator Simon Fuller picked up the Peter Grant Award for outstanding artist management. The award was presented May 14 at London’s Intercontinental Hotel.

The International Managers Forum was founded in the UK in 1992 to give managers an opportunity for sharing and learning, along with a much-needed voice within the industry. The Peter Grant Award for outstanding artist management was introduced in 1996 and named after the late manager of Led Zeppelin and others.
