Swiss Music Awards with Songwriter category
This year, songwriters will also be honored for the first time at the Swiss Music Awards (SMA). Their award will be presented in the Best Hit category on behalf of Suisa.
This means that the composers and lyricists also receive a Swiss Music Award for their achievements. This year's nominees are Dominik Baumgartner, Michele Bochicchio, Marco Jeger and Florian Reichle, Dominik Jud (Dodo - Hippie-Bus); Raphael Jakob, Benjamin Mühlethaler, Semih Yavsaner (Müslüm - La Bambele); Thomas Fessler, Nicola Kneringer (Nickless - Waiting).
The Swiss Music Awards are a promotional platform for Swiss music and honor up-and-coming artists in the categories Best Talent and Best Breaking Act. In the Artist Award, which was presented to James Gruntz for the first time last year, Swiss musicians choose the winner directly.
The Swiss Music Awards will be presented for the ninth time on February 12, 2016, in Zurich's Hallenstadion.
