Early this year, I entered the 2018 “American Songwriters Awards” contest. It is an international competition and consists of 26 individually judged musical categories as well as an overall or “Best in Show”.
I won the Grand Prize for "Song of the Year" and won in two categories, "Best Classical Piece" and "Best Reggae Song". Three of my pieces earned “Finalist” status which is top 10 of the entire contest. I was also awarded “Nominated” status for 11 other songs which means top 10 in their respective categories.
