Chris Blackwell mottagare av 2023 års Polarpirs

The Polar Music Prize 2023 is awarded to Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records. As a record producer and genuine music lover, Chris Blackwell has been one of the key figures in the development of popular music for half a century. He's also credit for work on two of the James Bond movies, Dr. No (1962) and No Time To Die (2021).

When Island Records was founded in Jamaica in 1959, he began his mission to introduce the world to ska and reggae. In folk, rock and disco, he has invested in uncompromising artists and helped them become the best version of themselves. Never focusing on sales figures, but on the songs and albums as works of art. Chris Blackwell has expanded the world and abolished border controls between genres.

– Att få Polar Music Prize betyder enormt mycket och jag känner mig väldigt hedrad. Skandinavien har alltid betytt mycket för mig redan från starten av min karriär, särskilt då den allra första skivan jag släppte blev tillgänglig även i Sverige, säger han i ett pressmeddelande.

Det är första gången en skivbolagsdirektör får Polarpriset.

The Polar Music Prize was founded in 1989 by the late Stig ”Stikkan” Anderson, one of the true greats in the history of popular music. As the publisher, lyricist and manager of ABBA, he played a key role in their enormous success. Its name stems from Anderson’s legendary record label, Polar Music.

Paul McCartney was the first recipient (along with the Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) of The Polar Music Prize when it was launched in 1992.
