At the 2025 JUNO Awards, MWI graduate Jad "OUPSiNG" El Khoury (Audio Production & Engineering 2021, Music Mixing & Mastering 2022) was credited as the mixing engineer on Verbathim by Nemahsis, which won Alternative Album of the Year. The recognition marks a notable moment in Jad's growing career in the music industry. Nemahsis also received the Breakthrough Artist of the Year award, capping off a strong night for both the artist and the team behind the project.
