D-SISIVE’S “NOBODY WITH A NOTEPAD” TAKES SOCAN’S FOURTH ANNUAL ECHO SONGWRITING PRIZE
SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) is pleased to announce Derek Christoff (a.k.a. D-Sisive) and Robert Baker as winners of the fourth annual ECHO Songwriting Prize for the song “Nobody with a Notepad.”
Over the summer, an independent panel of 10 music community tastemakers selected the five songs they felt best showed the variety and creativity of independent, up-and-coming Canadian songwriters. Thousands of music lovers voted between September 1 and September 29 and, in the face of some stiff competition, “Nobody with a Notepad” emerged as the winning song.
The other nominated songs for the ECHO Songwriting Prize were:
“Lay Down In the Tall Grass” written by Taylor Kirk, performed by Timber Timbre
“Love Can Be So Mean” written by Sebastien Grainger, performed by Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains
“Through and Through and Through” written and performed by Joel Plaskett
“Some Are Lakes” written by Elizabeth Powell, performed by Land of Talk
The Francophone counterpart of the award, Prix de la chanson ECHO, has been awarded to Bernard Adamus for his song “La question a 100 piasses.”
