The Songwriters of North America honored Chappell Roan, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Primary Wave founder and CEO Larry Mestel, prolific music attorney Dina Lapolt and Girls Make Beats founder Tiffany Miranda at the organization’s annual Sona Warrior Awards in Los Angeles Sunday evening for a night that both honored songwriting and sounded the alarm on systemic issues plaguing the music business.
The event, now in its fifth year, brought together a slew of executives including Sony Music Publishing CEO John Platt, Warner Chappell COO Carianne Marshall and recently-departed Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone alongside hitmakers like Desmond Child, CeeLo Green, Tayla Parks as well as congress members Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost and Angie Craig among many others.
The first honoree of the evening was Girls Make Beats and Miranda, who was introduced by Janelle Monae, who had cited Miranda as a teacher to help her learn how to produce tracks.
