Stevie talked about meeting Quincy was he was just 14 at the Apollo Theater, sharing, “I cherish your commitment to doing great music, not just producing it but writing it.”
“I was blessed to find my life’s passion: music,” Quincy shared in accepting the award. “That journey has taken me around the world, and with God’s whispers in my ears, allowed me to create music that, thankfully, is as resonant today as it was when it was originally written.”
