BMI (BROADCAST MUSIC, INC.) will honor multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning singer/songwriter and actress BRANDY with the BMI President’s Award at its R&B/HIP-HOP AWARDS on THURSDAY, AUGUST 29th.  

The private event will be held at the SANDY SPRINGS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER in ATLANTA. It will be hosted by BMI Pres./CEO MIKE O’NEILL and BMI VP/Creative (ATLANTA), CATHERINE BREWTON.

BREWTON said, “As a singer/songwriter, actress and humanitarian, BRANDY is a triple threat in every sense of the word. Her timeless hits about love and heartbreak were anthems to many coming of age during the 90s and secured her place in R&B history. We are so excited to honor BRANDY with the BMI President’s Award and look forward to celebrating a night of great music.”

The BMI President’s Award is presented to an individual songwriter, composer or producer who has made exemplary contributions to the art of music and songwriting and profoundly influenced the entertainment industry. BRANDY joins previous recipients CURTIS MAYFIELD, LUDACRIS, TONI BRAXTON and WILL.I.AM in sharing the distinction.

The BMI R&B/HIP-HOP Songwriter, Producer and Publisher of the Year will also be named during the ceremony. In addition, BMI’s SOCIAL STAR will return for its eighth year. SOCIAL STAR will honor the songwriter with the most engaged social media audience.

Fans will be able to vote for their favorite contestant across BMI’s INSTAGRAM and TWITTER accounts. The songwriter with the most INSTAGRAM likes that includes their specialized SOCIAL STAR hashtag will claim the prize. Previous winners have included MAC MILLER, MACHINE GUN KELLY, ZENDAYA, SOMO, JOEY BADA$$, KASH DOLL and DEREZ DE’SHON.
