The artistic icon Gawx took out the major prize last year; Creator of the Year. But this year, there's ONE category in the RØDE Creator of the Year Awards that's entirely in your hands. Go to creatorawards.rode.com and vote for your favourite finalist in our People's Choice category and you could be one of 10 lucky voters to win an epic RØDE prize pack featuring some of our best mics and merch!

And before we announce all the winners of our 2025 Creator of the Year Awards, we're taking a moment to look back and chat with the 2 major winners. In this chat, Gawx talks us through his career; how he got started on YouTube, the evolution of his art, the creator grind, the value of taking a break from making videos for a creative reset and the importance of creating for yourself, not just views and likes (and much more).

Watch our interview with 2024 Emerging Creator of the Year, Daphne from Airing Your Dirty Laundry: youtu.be/pURDbTQuUto?si=DKStYLVph9aaK1mx
