Raye Named 2026 Hal David Starlight Award Recipient | Songwriters Hall Of Fame

The Songwriters Hall of Fame has named RAYE as the 2026 recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award - given annually to a gifted young songwriter making a significant global impact.

RAYE's path has been remarkable: from quietly shaping the sound of a generation as a behind-the-scenes writer for Beyonce and Charli XCX, to breaking records as a solo artist in her own right.

She joins past recipients including Taylor Swift, SZA, and Ed Sheeran, and will be honored at the 55th Annual SHOF Induction and Awards Dinner on 11 JUN 2026 in New York City.
