In addition, Peso Pluma was named regional mexican songwriter of the year, an award that Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Edgar Barrera took home for two consecutive years prior. Tito Double P, who is signed to Peso Pluma’s Double P record label, was honored with the BMI Impact Award for helping pen Peso Pluma’s early career hits, including “El Belicon,” “Siempre Pendientes,” “PRC” and “AMG.”

“Thank you for supporting this huge movement in música mexicana, I’m very proud of what we’ve all accomplished together as a team and family,” said Peso Pluma in his acceptance speech.

The private event, hosted by BMI’s President and CEO Mike O’Neill and Vice President, Creative, Latin, Jesus Gonzalez, also featured live performances from FloyyMenor, who sang his 2024 hit, “Gata Only.” Jasiel Nuñez, a Double P signee, also delivered a medley of “Intro (Blues),” “Amiri,” and his BMI Latin award-winning song, “Bipolar.”

Contemporary Latin Songwriter of the Year was presented to Karol G and producer and songwriter MAG for writing six of BMI’s most-performed contemporary Latin songs of the past year respectively, including their collaboration on the song “Mi Ex Tenía Razón,” as well as Karol G’s “Amargura,” “Cairo,” “Qlona,” “S91” and “X Si Volvemos;” and Bad Bunny’s “Fina,” “Monaco,” “Perro Negro,” “Un Preview” and “Where She Goes.”
