“Charli is an unstoppable creative force,” ASCAP chairman of the board and president Paul Williams said in a statement. “Her avant-garde style is daring, authentic and infectious as she expertly infuses the best of the underground and mainstream worlds into her music.”
“I’m honoured to receive this award from ASCAP,” Charli XCX said. “It’s cool to see them advocate for authenticity and nice to be recognised by an organization dedicated to supporting songwriters and fostering an environment where we can craft music we love.”
