Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a record producer, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here is that he was presented with an unnamed "certificate of appreciation" by Canadian provincial and federal governments, except that I can't find hide nor hair of any Canadian media or government sources actually stating such a thing at all -- the sources for it seem to come entirely from either his own self-published PR, or Indian sources that read very much more like the media outlets in question just hook-line-sinker reprinted his own press releases rather than doing any actual journalism to verify anything. So if I can't even find legitimate verification that an award even exists, then it clearly can't be a notability-clinching award for the purposes of NMUSIC #8 -- and there just isn't any other serious notability claim being made here at all beyond "he exists as a person who has a job".
