Previous recipients have included Justin Tranter, Allee Willis and Raye, among others. In Roan's case, the pop star kickstarted a major conversation in the music business back in February after she used her best new artist acceptance speech at the Grammys to advocate for increased healthcare for artists from record labels. This year's Awards come as SONA celebrates 10 years since its founding back in 2015. The 2025 event will also launch SONA's inaugural emerging songwriter warrior award, SONA said, with a recipient selected from five nominees. The emerging songwriter award is being presented by YouTube Songwriters. The Warrior Awards will conclude SONA's Warrior Awards week, which will begin on October 4 and feature events "designed to foster community and celebrate songwriters" through October 11.
