The award was presented to Monáe for her achievements as one of the most streamed creators in SoundExchange’s more than 20-year history of administering digital royalties.
She has been a member of SoundExchange since 2020 and the organization collections worldwide neighboring rights royalties on her behalf through more than 75 agreements with international royalty collection societies.
“Janelle Monáe is as authentic and genuine a creator as the world has ever seen – a true trailblazer of the digital age,” said Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange. “An influential performer whose musical achievements are rivaled only by her notable roles as an actor, Monáe is also an inspiring activist and fashion icon.
