The T.J. Martell Foundation, a prominent nonprofit organization in the music industry dedicated to cancer research, will honor Big Loud partner and CEO Seth England during its 49th Annual New York Honors Gala on September 17.
Country music star Morgan Wallen, along with singer-songwriters Hardy and Ernest, will perform a special “writers’ round” during the event.
England is set to receive the Lifetime Music Industry Award, recognizing his significant contributions to the music industry and his steadfast support for the foundation’s mission to find a cancer cure. Additionally, Archie Davis, the chief creative officer of Def Jam Recordings, will present an initiative aimed at promoting awareness around early screening and testing.
“We are excited to honor our esteemed colleague and friend Seth England with the Lifetime Music Industry Award this year, celebrating his profound commitment to the foundation,” stated Steve Gawley, executive vice president of business and legal affairs at Republic and Chairman-Elect of the T.J. Martell Foundation Board of Trustees. “We look forward to showcasing Seth’s dedicated efforts toward cancer research as well as his innovative work in the music industry during an exciting night of music!”
