Super-producer Timbaland took home the Songwriter of the Year Award last night (April 9) at the 25th Annual ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Pop Music Awards in Los Angeles, CA.
Over 1,800 songwriters, recording artists, industry leaders and members of the music community gathered at the historic Kodak Theatre yesterday to honor the top songwriters of today.
Timbo won the coveted Songwriter of the Year award for his contributions to nine award-winning songs, including "The Way I Are" featuring Keri Hilson and DOE, "Give It To Me" featuring Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, Omarion's "Ice Box," Fabolous' "Make Me Better," Furtado's "Say It Right" and JT's "My Love," "Summer Love/Set The Mood "Until The End of Time," and "What Goes Around...Comes Around."
This marks the third time Timbo has been recognized by ASCAP. He was honored twice as Rhythm and Soul Songwriter of the Year.
Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" earned awards for Song of the Year, and collected Pop Awards for "Glamorous" produced by Polow Da Don and "Fergalicious," produced by will.i.am.
Rounding out the Top 5 most performed songs were Beyonce's "Irreplaceable," written by Hov's new wife and Stargate's Mikkel Eriksen & Tor Hermansen, and Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right," written by Furtado and Timbaland.
Other multiple Pop Award-winning recipients included Akon, Stargate and JT with five awards; Fergie, Keri Hilson and Ludacris with three awards; and Keyshia Cole, Furtado and The-Dream with two awards.
