"This year's honoree, T Bone Burnett, is a 10-time GRAMMY Award® winner who is revered for the quality and integrity of his work. His career spans 40 years, yet he remains on the cutting edge and is eminently respected by his peers. I can’t think of a better individual to represent the spirit of this event, which celebrates the people who work behind the scenes to create music."

Droney continued, reflecting on the P&E Wing's first decade: "The music production industry has faced enormous challenges in the ten years we've been here, and it continues to face new technical, legislative and economic tests today. We are very fortunate to have some extraordinary sponsors who also represent the spirit of this event, and whose support makes this evening, and many of the P&E Wing’s initiatives, possible. The P&E Wing provides The Academy and the industry with the resources and expertise with which to address many of the industry's challenges, and that's something we'll continue to do as we go forward into the next ten years."
