Usher will add another prestigious award to his already loaded trophy case. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers said Thursday that Usher will receive its Voice of the Culture Award. He’ll be honored at ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Music Songwriters and Publishers event on June 27.
The honor Usher is receiving is presented to ASCAP members who have had a major influence on music and culture. 'Artistic development is a lifelong journey of experimentation that requires risk for reward, embracing unknowns, trusting your intuition, and believing in your creative vision and God given talent,' Usher said in a statement. The R&B superstar is an eight-time Grammy winner who recently ended a two-year Las Vegas residency, 'Usher: My Way' at the Park MGM.
Monét won three Grammys earlier this year, including best new artist and R&B album for 'Jaguar II.' 'Victoria Monét has proven herself not only as an illuminating songwriter, but also as a flourishing artist and ASCAP member who continues to break barriers,' said Paul Williams, chairman of the board and president at ASCAP. 'Her resilience, talent, and exemplary work ethic have helped her become a multi-award-winning singer and songwriter.
