# Usher Blessed With ASCAP Golden Note Award

R&B singer **Usher** is set to receive the Golden Note Award on June 27, 2013 at the 26th annual ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards.

The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles will be the venue where the Dallas native will join a list of past winners such as Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jermaine Dupri, Sean Combs and Quincy Jones.

“I take the art of songwriting and music-making very seriously, so to be given the **ASCAP Golden Note Award** from an organization of my fellow music creators is a huge honor,” Usher said in a statement.

The coveted award is presented to composers, artists and songwriters who’ve reached significant milestones in their musical career.

“We at ASCAP have been a fan and advocate for Usher since day one,” said Nicole George-Middleton, ASCAP VP of Rhythm & Soul Membership.

“He’s a tried and true music trailblazer who’s constantly pushing boundaries and redefining genres.”
