After being delayed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Composers Hall of Fame inductees are finally being recognized for their legendary contributions to the world of music — and the team includes some of our fans. Mariah Carey, The Neptunes and The Isley Brothers were among the artists honored for their respected pen game and officially inducted into the Writers’ Hall of Fame.

Speaking about the decision to wait for the presentation to take place securely instead of in person instead of virtual, Songwriters Hall Of Fame President and CEO Linda Moran said:
“The gala is finally here after three years. It had such an intense and amazing effect on me that it left me feeling completely overwhelmed and even more amplified, knowing that the gala was expected to be the driving force behind. communities that make and publish music are life after life with COVID. ”
