Burna Boy, Dixson, Dahi & More Honored by SESAC
Dixson won a Grammy for best R&B song on Feb. 1 as a co-writer of “Folded.”
On Tuesday, September 22, SESAC hosted an exclusive dinner in Malibu to honor the songwriters and publishers who crafted the year's most popular songs. Among the distinguished recipients were Dahi ("Love Me Not" by Ravyn Lenae), Dixson ("Folded" by Kehlani), Burna Boy ("WGFT" featuring Gunna), Ariana Grande ("Twilight Zone"), and Gregory Curtis ("Typa" by GloRilla).
One of the night's notable achievements was Dixson's Grammy win for best R&B song, shared with Kehlani for their collaborative track "Folded." Kehlani also took home a second Grammy for best R&B solo performance for her hit "Love Me Not," which soared to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. While the former didn't win any Grammy, both songs found their way into the top 20 of Billboard's chart-toppers.
The success story of these hits began with exceptional songwriters and publishers, a fact emphasized by Sam Kling, SESAC's chief creative officer, who expressed delight in celebrating these industry leaders during the Malibu event. SESAC Performing Rights, a division of SESAC Music Group, a global music conglomerate, hosted this unique waterfront gathering to acknowledge the year's standout songs in an intimate and memorable setting.
