Congratulations to Nemahsis and Rau_Ze, winners of the 2025 Breakthrough Songwriter Award from the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, presented by SOCAN Foundation, with support from Amazon Music.

Nemahsis is captivating global audiences with her emotionally rich storytelling and genre-blending sound rooted in identity and authenticity. Rau_Ze are redefining Québécois R&B and neo-soul with music that’s as thoughtful as it is rhythmically bold.

Awarded to two rising talents, this honour celebrates songwriters whose work is resonating across genres and borders. Each winner receives a $7,500 prize and support to take the next step in their career.

This year’s recipients will be recognized alongside legendary inductees at the upcoming CSHF Legends Series on October 17 in Toronto.

✨ Song of the Week ✨

Frank Mighty - “Been Done”

Frank Mighty's sound has been described as “somewhere between Passion Pit and MGMT,” and has also drawn comparisons to Glass Animals and Bon Iver. Mighty's song “Unattainable (Keep Me Close)” has been streamed more than 265,000 times on Spotify, and another one, “Rakefire”" has earned more than 165,000 streams on the platform. Mighty also participated in the 2024 edition of the SOCAN Foundation TD Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship. “Been Done” is his latest, and perhaps catchiest, single – the first in a series coming in the Fall of 2025.
