It has been announced that Sony/ATV's Frank Duke Wins SOCAN Songwrite of the Year.

He was one of a number of Sony/ATV victors at the Canadian performing rights organisation's 29th annual event held on Monday night in Toronto with other winners including Alessia Cara, Geoff Warburton, Daniel Caesar and Our Lady Peace.

His Songwriter of the Year success followed the Camila Cabello hit “Havana”, which was co-written by him, receiving one of the night’s Pop Music Awards, while his co-penned song “Congratulations” for Post Malone won a Rap Music Award, as did “Fake Love”, which he won with fellow Sony/ATV writer and the song’s recording artist Drake.

Among the other Sony/ATV winners, Alessia Cara won the International Achievement Award as well as Dance Music and International Song Awards for her hit “Stay” with Zedd, while Our Lady Peace received the National Achievement Award with the group’s principal songwriter and lead vocalist Raine Maida thanking Sony/ATV Canada President Gary Furniss in his acceptance speech. The band’s songs “Somewhere Out There”, “Innocent”, “Clumsy” and “Superman’s Dead” all won SOCAN Classic Music Awards as did the Bass Is Base releases “I Cry” and “Funkmobile”, which were both written by group founding member Chin Injeti.

There were Pop Music Awards for Sony/ATV-signed Geoff Warburton for co-writing the Shawn Mendes hit “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” and for the company’s Dave Thompson for co-penning the Virginia To Vegas release “Lights Out”.

Rising Sony/ATV star Daniel Caesar received the Breakout Award as his song “Get You”, which he wrote with Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans, won an R&B Music Award.
