ATLANTA – Level 77 Music, an independent boutique production music company launched in 2021, announces its teams’ 2023 Mark Award win for Dance/Electronic Track of the Year, “This is My Life,” on the company’s Vocal House album.
Level 77 Music Founder and CEO Patrick Avard attended this year’s Mark Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on October 4, 2023, along with Executive Producer Jason Rudd, and Senior Film Composer Mark Kueffner of its Sonic Score division.
The Mark Awards, created by LA’s Production Music Association, are presented annually, with 2023 being the program’s ninth year. The Production Music Association is the leading advocate and voice of the production music industry, its members including major labels, Grammy winners, independent boutiques, 670+ music publishers, and composers from around the world.
Strikingly, 2023 is the second year in a row that young Level 77 Music has won a Mark Award; in 2022, the company’s song “Be Mine” won Pop Track of the Year.
“Two years! Two Mark Awards! I couldn’t be prouder of the work we are doing here at L77,” Avard posted on Instagram following the ceremony. “It’s such a great feeling to be so new in this world and have our music recognized. Shout out to my team! So honored to share this with you guys – I wouldn’t want to make music with anyone else.”
Avard worked on “This is My Life” alongside Level 77 Music Creative Director Amore Jones, Ukrainian composer Stanislav Palyvoda, and Head Engineer Anthony Arasi.
Next up award-wise for Avard and team is a November 20, 2023, awards ceremony at London’s HERE at Outernet venue for the Production Music Awards (PMAs), where Level 77 Music has been nominated for four awards in the categories of Best Acoustic Pop/Rock, Best Dance, Best Jazz and Best Wildcard. Both Avard and Rudd will attend the London ceremony.
