The Irreverent Ms. Pegi Wins An Award

By FYI Staff

On Friday, June 4, Pegi Cecconi was awarded the 2020 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) for her ongoing contributions and dedication to the Canadian music industry. Some might call her an acquired taste, others the loudest mouth in the room, but she’s become an icon for women in the music business. One tough broad, in the parlance of Mickey Spillane, and a well-versed freedom fighter who has earned her mark with valour, and noted for her achievements that have always placed her client’s best interests first.

The announcement came on Canada Day, of course, with the beloved, predictably bonkers event revealing the news in an Instagram post that explained how, despite fully not being on the European continent, Canada has been welcomed into the fold for the first time.
