Sony U.K.’s Jackie Hyde has been awarded an MBE for her services to music and charity in the King’s New Year Honors List. The recognition comes as Hyde marks an incredible 46 years at Sony Music.
“Receiving this recognition feels overwhelming and I never thought an honor such as this would be given to me,” Hyde said of her new title. “When I joined CBS Records/Sony Music back in 1979 I couldn’t have imagined that I would be in the industry 45 years later or that I would receive an MBE. It’s been an incredible and very happy career in the business, which I am very proud to be a part of, and a privilege to have worked with such brilliant artists, whom I so very much admire.”
Hyde, VP of Artist Relations, has worked with such artists as George Michael, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Celine Dion, Sade, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan and The Clash.
In other U.K. News, we have been strongly cautioned to stay on our side of the pond.
