2022 Award Winners

President’s Award

Ellie Goulding

We were so proud to pay tribute to multi-platinum-selling and multi-award-winning singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding with BMI’s President’s Award for her exemplary contributions to the art of music and songwriting, as well as her profound influence on the entertainment industry as a whole.  Her emotional lyrics, powerful vocals and distinctive melodies have resonated with millions of fans around the world, and she holds the record for most entries on Billboard’s Hot 100 by a British female vocalist this century.  As an activist and philanthropist, she was awarded the UN’s New Voices Award, became a goodwill ambassador for UN Environment and a TIME 100 Impact Award winner.  Congratulations, Ellie, on this latest well-deserved honour!
