Level 77 Music came up big at The Production Music Association’s 7th Annual Mark Awards, taking home the top honor for Pop Track of the Year. The winning song, “Be Mine”, is featured on the production music library’s album G.I.R.L. (Girls in Real Life) on its VIVE Music label. The song was written and produced by Shanell Woodgett, Anthony Arasi, Patrick Avard and Caleb Tillman. It is performed by vocalist Loren Schaffer.
The Mark Awards are recognized as the most prestigious awards competition in the production music industry. Winners were announced in a gala ceremony held in conjunction with the PMA’s annual Production Music Conference at the OMNI Hotel in Los Angeles.
Level 77 Music’s win is especially significant, as it comes less than a year after the library was launched. “Words can’t describe how proud I am of this accomplishment,” says founder and CEO Patrick Avard. “As a very young company, it’s a true honor to be recognized by our peers alongside the industry’s biggest names.”
Pop Track of the Year is among the Mark Awards’ most competitive categories, attracting submissions for the industry’s largest and best-known libraries. “Our creative team has been creating premium vocal music for many years,” notes Avard. “It’s exciting to have one of our songs chosen for the Mark Awards’ top honor and played on the industry’s biggest stage.”

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
