A.G. Cook has been named Producer of the Year at the 2025 BRIT Awards.
The producer behind much of Charli XCX’s ‘BRAT’ album, who has also worked on tracks with Troye Sivan and SOPHIE, follows in the footsteps of Chase and Status, who received the honour last year.
Responding to the accolade, Cook dedicated the award to SOPHIE – who died in a tragic accident in 2021, at the age of 34 – saying the artist is “still a driving force for producers everywhere”.
“As someone who’s always felt like a bit of an outsider, I’m very flattered to be recognised by The BRITs,” he commented. “From the early PC Music days to the Charli mixtapes and beyond, I’ve been lucky to work on so much music that I truly believe in.
“In particular, I’d like to dedicate this moment to SOPHIE, whose vision and artistry is still a driving force for producers everywhere.”
In addition to his work for other artists, Cook released his first solo album not on PC Music – the label he founded in 2013 and helped popularise the hyperpop genre – last year, with the 24-song ‘Britpop’ project featuring Charli on its title track.
Damian Christian, Managing Director and President of Promotions at Atlantic Records (part of Warner Music UK) and Chair of the BRIT Committee for 2025, said: “What a year A.G. Cook has had – from his expansive solo record ‘Britpop’ to the world beating ‘BRAT’, he has pushed the boundaries and delivered incredible music.
“He is a true creative and has worked with the world’s biggest artists – always getting the best out of them and helping them evolve their sound. Congratulations to A. G. on being crowned the 2025 Producer of the Year.”
