Published by · · Toronto

SOCAN said Andrew Lockington and Drake each received five honours at the 36th SOCAN Awards in Toronto. Jessie Reyez received the International Achievement Award, while “Let Your Backbone Slide” received the Cultural Impact Award. More than 600 music creators, publishers and industry representatives attended the October 26 ceremony, which recognized Canadian songwriters, composers and music publishers across performance, screen and genre categories.

Why it matters

The awards highlight the Canadian creators and rights holders behind widely performed music and screen scores, not only the artists seen onstage.
