Sony Music Publishing was recognized as the Pop/Latin Rhythm Publi
SMP songwriters were among the evening’s top winners, with Manuel Turizo and Julian Turizo both crowned as SESAC’s Pop/Latin Rhythm Songwriters of the Year in recognition of their work on hits including “El Merengue” by Manuel Turizo and Marshmello, which also took home this year’s Pop/Latin Rhythm Song of the Year award.
Sony Music Publishing honorees also included Edén Muñoz, who won multiple awards for top performing tracks like “Como Quieras Quiero,” as well as Nicky Jam and LennyTavárez, who were honored for songs including “Calor” and Maluma’s “Coco Loco,” respectively.
Upon accepting the Publi
Most importantly, this honor is a direct result of you, the songwriters in the room, showing up to write songs day after day, without knowing whether they will be a hit or not, without knowing if they will connect or not, but showing up and writing anyway, because that is what you do – it is what you are meant to do. We are humbled by your dedication, your trust and your confidence in us. As long as you keep showing up, so will we.”
