The NMO Artist Of The Year 2012: EWERT AND THE TWO DRAGONS (Estonia)
Ewert & The Two Dragons are the NMO's Artist of the Year for 2012, scoring 43% of the vote during the online voting period, 21st December-8th January. There were 659 votes cast by our membership, which includes professionals from all areas of the music business.
The winning artist was announced at the joint Tallinn Music Week, Positivus Festival, and The NMO drinks reception during Eurosonic Festival on 11th January 2013. Ewert And The Two Dragons then performed 3 acoustic songs for the full house.
It has been an amazing 12 months for the band, led by great management by Toomas Olljum, since they made their breakthrough at this same event in January 2012 with deals being made with BMG Rights and Sire/Warner. The band also won the European Border Breaker Award during Eurosonic 2013. We all look forward to seeing and hearing a lot more of the band and wish them the best of luck.
The shortlist for the NMO award was quite amazing, with some fantastic artists on our list. All of them achieved a great deal in 2012 and we will continue to support them in the future.
Thanks to everyone who took time to vote and to all those who came to see us in Groningen.
