The awards will celebrate hip hop artist Che Ness, also known as Che Fu, as the Lifetime Achievement Award Winner.
Pacific Music Awards Trust spokesperson Reverend Mua Strickson-Pua said Che's status in the music industry is befitting the significance of the 10th anniversary of the awards.
"Che has significantly influenced Pacific music in the past decade and inspired other artists to follow his lead. That is essentially what we are celebrating with his award and the awards themselves.''
Rev Strickson-Pua said the 10th anniversary "marks a milestone of Pacific achievement, where we honour our musicians, the industry and Pacific nations''.
The performers at the awards night held tomorrow at the Vodafone Events Centre, Auckland from 7pm will be a mix of 2014 finalists and previous award winners, including Creative Souls Project, BrownHill, Mark Vanilau, Kas Futialo, GiantKilla, Cydel, Kalaga'la, Smashproof and Ardijah.
