Former Providence student Matt Schellenberg was named Visual Media Composer of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, held this month in Edmonton, AB.
Schellenberg, who is also a member of the indie pop band Royal Canoe, won for his work on the Lovesick soundtrack—a project that was recognized with a Canadian Screen Awards nomination earlier this year. He was also among the finalists in the Songwriter of the Year category, co-nominated with Alexa Dirks (Begonia) for “Juniper.”
The 2017 Western Canadian Music Awards was held September 13-17 as part of the BreakOut West Festival.
