The renowned music executive who was recently appointed to head the publicity unit of Medikal's Beyond Kontrol (BYK) music label, congratulated the winners and urged them to do more in the coming year.
"With the expansion from 12 to 15 categories this year, the YEN Awards got bigger this year and I am particularly impressed with organisation and the winners list. It looks like about 90-95% did not necessarily vote on fandom but chose thos whodeserved the awards.
"I congratulate all of the winners and wish the other nominees well in the future. They should come stronger next year and see if they could win," he said.
