An artist, producer and label head, Cook has reshaped the landscape of pop music over the past decade with his wild experimentation and innovative production. After founding the label PC Music in 2013, he gained recognition for his pioneering work with its vast network of artists, including the Grammy-nominated Scottish DJ and musician, SOPHIE.

Cook is a longtime collaborator of Charli XCX, having produced the singer’s latest Grammy-winning album Brat. He also released his acclaimed third solo album Britpop, last year.

Responding to news of his win, Cook dedicated the award to SOPHIE, who died in 2021 after a tragic accident: “As someone who’s always felt like a bit of an outsider, I’m very flattered to be recognised by The BRITs. 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.”

Damian Christian, Managing Director and President of Promotions at Atlantic Records and chair of the BRIT Committee for ,adds, “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 AG on being crowned the 2025 Producer of the Year.”
