NORDIC MUSIC BIZ ANNOUNCES TOP 20 UNDER 30 WINNERS FOR THE SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. CEREMONY TO BE HELD AT BY:LARM FESTIVAL IN OSLO, NORWAY, ON SEPTEMBER 12th, 2024
Fríði Djurhuus (30) announced as one of the winners!
The Nordic music industry has unveiled the 20 young talents under 30 who are driving the industry forward through the annual Nordic Music Biz Top 20 Under 30 initiative, established by NOMEX (Nordic Music Export).
Now in its seventh year, the Nordic Music Biz Top 20 Under 30 initiative, highlights the diversity across industry sectors and genres, reflecting the rich and varied music scene in the region.
Behind the scenes, these young professionals play a crucial role in the rise of Nordic music and its global influence, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to an ever-evolving industry.
Each year, a jury selects 20 individuals under 30 who are seen as potential future leaders in the industry. These winners are honoured at the by:Larm Festival, a key event in the Nordic music industry held in Oslo, Norway. This year’s festival is set for September 12th.
The 2024 Nordic Music Biz Top 20 Under 30 winners were chosen based on a range of criteria, including company growth, career trajectory, industry recognition, recent impact, artistic development, innovation, concert revenues, sales, streaming data, campaigns, and exposure through radio and television platforms.
