14 September 2012 - 0 Comments
In its 47th year of honouring New Zealand songwriters, tonight the APRA Silver Scroll Award has been presented at the Auckland Town Hall.
The winner of the 2012 APRA Silver Scroll Award is: Stephanie Brown - “Everything To Me” - performed by Lips.
“It’s a special honour to shine a light on such a beautiful song. A languid but wonderfully considered love song that seems to have slipped under the radar so far. Stephanie is a hugely talented songwriter.” says Anthony Healey, Director of NZ Operations for APRA.
