SOCAN has presented a No. 1 Song Award to Nick Henriques and Ultra Music Publishing for co-writing and co-publishing, respectively, the Loud Luxury song “Body” (featuring Brando), which reached No. 1 on the Nielsen BDS CHR Airplay Chart on June 18, 2018, holding the top position for six weeks straight.
A celebratory dinner, held on July 3, 2019, at Pai Northern Thai Kitchen in downtown Toronto, was attended by co-writers Loud Luxury (the duo of Joe Depace and Andrew Fedyk), as well as original co-publisher Marty Simon of MRD-Music Revenue Data, and Matthew Smeaton of North Side Artists, which manages Loud Luxury – all four of whom were previously awarded for the song during 2019 JUNO Awards week in London, Ontario, in March of this year. Other co-writers on the song were Marlon McClain (ASCAP) and Cassio Lopes (ASCAP).
