David Guetta and Kid Harpoon are the recipients of the Producer and Songwriter of the Year accolades.
David Guetta has been named Producer of the Year ahead of Saturday night's (11.02.23) BRIT Awards with Mastercard.
The world-famous French DJ and producer - who is set to perform at the ceremony at The O2 in London with Becky Hill and Ella Henderson and is also up for International Song of The Year for 'I'm Good (Blue) ' with Bebe Rexha - has been unveiled as the recipient of the prestigious accolade, which was received by Beyonce's producer Inflo last year.
David said: “I am very honoured to receive ‘Producer of the Year’. I have always felt a strong connection to British music and culture. The UK music scene is full of world-class artists and producers so to be recognised like this means a lot to me. Thank you so much!”
Over the years, the 'I'm Good (Blue)' hitmaker has produced hits for the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Ariana Grande, to name a few.
What's more, Harry Styles' co-writer and co-producer on his GRAMMY-winning solo LP 'Harry's House', Kid Harpoon, has been handed the Songwriter of the Year prize.

As well as the former One Direction star, his credits include Florence + The Machine, Jessie Ware and Shakira.
He said: “To be acknowledged by the BRITs this year for songwriting, a beautiful and complex craft, is unbelievable. It’s a dream come true to create for a living, I cannot wait to celebrate with everyone on Saturday.”
