While we anxiously await the 29th edition of the Montréal SOCAN Awards Gala on Oct. 2 at La Tohu, Geoffroy and Bobby Bazini tell us about their personal evolution in the songwriting process, and the importance of travelling for their art. Geoffroy will receive the Viral Song Award for his “Sleeping On My Own.” This award is presented to the most popular song on streaming sites, that gained its popularity through massive, rapid circulation on the Internet and without the help of radio airplay. As for Bobby Bazini, he’ll receive a Popular Music Award (Anglophone) for his song, “C’est la vie.”
