Kehlani, Kali Uchis, ‘KPop Demon Hunters” EJAE to Be Honored at 2025 ASCAP Women Behind the Music 

Grammy-winning artist Kali Uchis, five-time Grammy nominee Kehlani, and KPop Demon Hunters’ songwriter, lead vocalist and rising star EJAE will be honored at the 17th annual ASCAP Women Behind the Music. The event is set for Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Los Angeles.

Kehlani, a five-time Grammy nominee, received the Rule Breaker Award at the Billboard Women in Music event in 2017. Uchis took home a Grammy five years ago for best dance recording as a featured artist on Kaytranada’s “10%.” EJAE co-wrote “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters and performed the upbeat song as Rumi, the leader of the girl group HUNTR/X. The song logged eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has a good chance of landing an Oscar nomination for best original song.

Coco Jones, Amanda Jones and Autumn Rowe were honored at the 2024 ASCAP Women Behind the Music. Other past honorees include Kandi Burruss, Kelly Rowland, Victoria Monét, Joelle James, Salt-N-Pepa, Summer Walker, Jazmine Sullivan, Sheila E., production and songwriting duo Nova Wav, along with executives Shari Bryant, Brittney Davis, Phylicia Fant, Sammye Scott and Nicole Wyskoarko.

“Every year, ASCAP looks forward to spotlighting some of music’s most extraordinary women by honoring them for their achievements at our Women Behind the Music event,” Nicole George-Middleton, ASCAP executive vp & head of creative membership said in a statement. “​This year we are thrilled to recognize three women who are pushing boundaries and capturing the world’s attention across different genres. Their creative success has propelled them to the top of the charts and is set to inspire the next generation of women in music.”

George-Middleton will be on hand to present the 2025 honorees. DJ C Devone will provide music at the event.
