Molly Hunt Wins Big in USA Songwriting Competition
Up-and-coming young BMI songwriter Molly Hunt took home two of the top prizes in the 2012 USA Songwriting Competition. The Detroit native and current Nashville resident claimed first place in the country field and third place overall for her song “Go There,” which she co-wrote with Troy Johnson and Jack Williams. At just 15 years-old, she is the youngest winner in the history of the contest. Hunt’s powerful voice has also earned significant attention recently, propelling her to the Hollywood round in the current season of American Idol.
Versatile BMI songwriter/musician Richard Gannaway received first place in the world music category. Based in Asheville, NC, Gannaway impressed judges with his original composition ““Ena Na Lena.”
