Songwriters’ Advocacy Group SONA Honors Raye, Thomas Scherer, Ross Golan, Willie ‘Prophet’ Stiggers and Andrea Martin at L.A. Gala


Songwriters of North America (SONA) honored Raye, Thomas Scherer, Ross Golan, Willie 'Prophet' Stiggers and the late Andrea Martin at an L.A. gala.

The Songwriters of North America honored creators and business figures it sees as leaders in the industry during its annual SONA Warrior Awards on Sunday night, with Raye, Thomas Scherer, Ross Golan, Willie “Prophet” Stiggers and the late Andrea Martin being celebrated at L.A.’s Skirball Cultural Center. The rising British star had a good reason for not making it in the flesh: she’d been booked to do a live appearance on prime-time TV that same night, singing a James Brown classic on the American Music Awards’ 50th anniversary special. Dave Stewart presented a Warrior Award to Scherer, who has spent nearly three decades at BMG and parent company Bertelsmann as an artist, songwriter, music publisher, producer, label owner, and executive.
