Daniel Mackenzie

THE ASCAP FOUNDATION SAMMY CAHN AWARD

Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Mackenzie honored in New York

Daniel Mackenzie, a Los Angeles based singer/songwriter who hails originally from New York, is the 2004 recipient of The ASCAP Foundation Sammy Cahn Award for his song "Sitting On a Train." Mackenzie performed his award winning song at The ASCAP Foundation Awards Reception held on December 2, 2004 at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater in New York City.

Mackenzie has released several albums including: Shakytown, Good Things, and his most recent release, A Complete Unknown. He is also the composer for Discovery Channel's hit show, Monster House, whose theme song (which he wrote, produced and performed) earned him an Emmy nomination this year.

The ASCAP Foundation Sammy Cahn Award was established in 1995 to honor Sammy Cahn's unique achievements as a lyric writer and friend of music. Through the generosity of Sammy's widow, Tita Cahn, The ASCAP Foundation is able to continue the Sammy Cahn Award program.
