HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Dave and Cherry Candle have been nominated for Creator Duo of the Year at the 2026 XMAs.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this XMA nomination for Creator Duo of the Year,” said Cherry Candle. “This recognition means so much to us because it reflects the passion, creativity, and connection we put into every project. Dave and I love what we do, and we are grateful to the fans and industry professionals who continue to support our work.”
The Candles recently moved from Europe to Los Angeles, where they signed with ATMLA and quickly began booking more work, both separately and together.
“Moving to the United States has opened the door to an amazing new chapter for us,” said Dave Candle. “I am excited to collaborate with so many talented performers, directors, and studios here. The professionalism and creative energy in the U.S. scene are inspiring, and I am thrilled to be part of it.”
The 2026 XMA Awards will recognize the best in the industry on Sunday, Jan. 18, at the historic Hollywood Palladium. In keeping with tradition, select award categories under Web & Technology, Pleasure Products, and Retail will be presented at the two editions of the annual XBIZ Honors ceremonies.
