ASCAP GLOBAL IMPACT AWARD: Kenya Grace

Kenya Grace is a self-taught producer who merges R&B melodies, soulful stylings and electronic influences. Her viral hit “Strangers” catapulted Kenya from her bedroom to the top of the Billboard charts in just three months. And it made history, too: Kenya is the first woman since 1978 with a #1 song in the UK that was entirely written, produced and performed by herself.
