“The President’s Award is bestowed to an individual who has
demonstrated outstanding achievement in songwriting with profound
global influence on culture and the entertainment industry,” Mike
O’Neill, BMI President & CEO, says. “Christopher ‘Ludacris’ Bridges’
songs traverse boundaries and reach listeners of all genres, making him
a global presence. Additionally, his philanthropic efforts go beyond
measure with the work he does by way of his charitable organization,
The Ludacris Foundation, making him a natural for the BMI President’s
Award.”
BMI Vice President Catherine Brewton echoed these statements about
Ludacris in a press release.
“We are proud to be honoring Ludacris with our President's Award,”
Brewton says. “He is a hometown hero to the city of Atlanta who has
had a remarkable career in music, film and television. His consistency in
the industry, as well as his outreach in the community proves he is more
than deserving of the BMI President’s Award."
Ludacris has released several albums, including 2000's Back For The
First Time, 2001's Word Of Mouf, 2003's Chicken-n-Beer, 2004's Red
Light District, 2006's Release Therapy , 2008's Theater of The Mind and
