NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) – Hillary Lindsey, Timothy Mosley (AKA Timbaland), Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, along with Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, have been announced as the 2024 inductees of the Songwriting Hall of Fame.
The class of 2024 will be inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall during a special gala event slated for Thursday, June 13th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
Songwriting Hall of Fame Chairman Nile Rodgers said, “I’ve said it before, but the music industry does not exist without songwriters delivering great songs first. Without them there is no recorded music, no concert business, no merch . . . nothing, it all starts with the song and the songwriter. We are therefore very proud that we are continually recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time and that the 2024 slate represents not just iconic songs but also diversity and unity across genres, ethnicity and gender, songwriters who have enriched our lives and literally enriched music and the lives of billions of listeners all over the world.”
