In a special video greeting to all of this year's ASCAP London Music Awards winners, ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams said: "We've learned that however wide the space is between us, we are connected at a soul level.
"Your music reminds us of that. When your music connects with millions of people, that's power.
"That can change the world... Congratulations to all of this year's winners for your achievements."
