(New York, NY) – F.I.Y.A. World Music, eOne and Light Records recording artist, James Fortune, will receive two honors from the performing rights association, ASCAP, at the Annual Rhythm & Soul Awards later this month. Fortune will be recognized for his outstanding writing on his current hit songs “Encore” and “I Believe.”

People connect to Fortune’s songwriting because his lyrics are filled with encouragement, love and life. Fortune’s songs have touched a chord with listeners since his debut in 2005 with YOU SURVIVED. He and his vocal group F.I.Y.A. garnered mass recognition in 2009 with the record-breaking song “I Trust You,” from their sophomore release THE TRANSFORMATION.

The 24th ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards will take place on Friday, June 24 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Awards honors the most successful songwriters and publishers of the past year in R&B, Hip Hop and Gospel music.
