It is huge kudos for the young Aux brand to attract such established nomination partners in its first year. Aux Founder, Ben Bowler, however, is no stranger to success. An experienced startup founder and developer, he built, launched, and sold, DJ live streaming platform Chew.tv which grew to a community of over 500k members. Then, as a digital nomad, he developed a series of startups while cycling around the world, leading to the launch of Indie Tech Ltd – a startup studio building software for music, media and gaming.
On the Aux Awards, Ben commented,
“On behalf of the Aux team who have built the App to help artists and music industry pros connect and collaborate remotely, I’m delighted to announce the Aux Awards 2022. Our awards are a chance to recognise those artists and music companies creating new sounds, building new business models and connecting us all through music. I am personally excited that we have such high profile nomination partners, given that this is our first iteration of the event who all bring decades of expertise in their fields to their respective categories.”
The Aux Awards livestream will be hosted by Ben Bowler alongside some special guest hosts. Those wishing to tune in to find out who takes home the gold must first register via Eventbrite and then join the event on YouTube. As well as exclusive performances from nominees, attendees can expect to hear some brand new updates forthcoming on the Aux platform.
