Moore was touched to receive the award. “Keeping a global perspective has been a vital component to my clients’ success,” she observes. “I’ve always been driven to truly ‘serve’ the artists on my roster and it’s always gratifying when it ‘works.’ To be recognized with this particular award really hits home. I am deeply honored.” BCMA President Lee Williams presented Moore with the shimmering crystal “tower” last week in Nashville.
The 12th annual BCMA Awards were held October 21 and 22 in Wolverhampton, UK. Hosted by Baylen Leonard from the BBC, the event featured four hours of music and award presentations and was filmed for future broadcast.

International honorees included Drake White (International Song of the Year, “Makin’ Me Look Good Again”), Zac Brown Band (International Album of the Year, WELCOME HOME), and Jenn Bostic (International Touring Act).
