00:00Ed Sheeran took to the stage at the Music and Business UK Awards to honor his friend
00:06and former CEO of Warner Music Group, Max Lasada.
00:09Max has had a hand in shaping the careers of many of today's superstars like Dua Lipa,
00:13Rita Orr, Charli XCX, and of course, Ed Sheeran to name a few.
00:17And Ed had this to say.
00:18They don't make people like him anymore, music people.
00:21And if they do, they come around once in a generation.
00:24It's not about having a big marketing brain or being good at algorithms or jumping on
00:28the new hot things.
00:29It's about recognizing what are great, great songs and who are great, great artists and
00:33allowing them to grow.
00:34The event was a loving affair with Max sharing a few words himself after accepting his award.
00:39I just really wanted to kind of dedicate this as a music executive, but more importantly
00:45as a music fan to everyone who backs new artists that have something to say.
00:52Congrats squad to Max and stay tuned to Billboard News for all the latest.
