Johnny McDaid will be presented with the BMI President’s Award at our 2026 BMI London Awards. The acclaimed songwriter, producer and musician will be honoured for his distinctive artistry, lasting influence and celebrated body of work that continues to resonate with music fans around the world. 

“From his early days honing his craft on the streets of London to becoming one of the most sought-after collaborators in music, Johnny has built an extraordinary career defined by creativity, authenticity and a deep respect for the craft of songwriting,” our Chief Revenue & Creative Officer, Mike Steinberg said. “His remarkable gift for melody and storytelling, and his ability to capture human emotion, have helped shape some of the most memorable and enduring songs of the past two decades. We’re thrilled to honour his outstanding contributions to music with the BMI President’s Award.” Steinberg added, “We’re also excited to pay tribute to all of our outstanding award-winning music creators and recognise their incredible talent.” 

His historic collaborations with Sheeran include several global hits, led by “Shape of You,” the first song in Spotify history to reach two billion streams and now at more than five billion. The track spent 12 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and 14 weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, is certified 13x Platinum by the RIAA, has amassed 8.8 billion YouTube views and was named Apple Music’s most-streamed song of the decade. 

Among his many awards and accolades, McDaid is a two-time GRAMMY nominee, two-time Ivor Novello winner, has 17 BMI Awards and received BMI Pop and London Song of the Year in 2018 for “Shape of You” and BMI London Song of the Year in 2022 for “Bad Habits.” He also earned 14 Diamond and more than 600 Platinum certifications with many songs that have helped define the streaming age. 🎶💙 #BMIFamily #BMILondonAwards
