JT Headlines HOF Event

The Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) West Coast Committee is presenting a private industry Q&A with Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning artist/songwriter, Justin Timberlake tomorrow evening at the Fox Zanuck Theatre at 20th Century Fox Studios in Century City, CA. JT will be joined by Oscar-nominated co-writer/producers Max Martin and Shellback, and the panel discussion will be moderated by legendary songwriter and SHOF inductee, Bill Withers (“Lean on Me,” “Use Me,” Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lovely Day”). And there’s more — the event, which is open to SHOF and AMPAS members also includes a bonus 3-D screening of the DreamWorks’ animated film, Trolls. Unless you’ve been living under, say, a large rock, you know that Timberlake voiced the character “Branch,” served as the film’s Executive Music Producer and performed the infectious smash “Can’t Stop The Feeling,” which just won a Grammy Award for “Best Song Written For Visual Media.”

“The Songwriters Hall of Fame is honored to present this event and to give our guests a close-up encounter with the multi-talented Justin Timberlake,” said Linda Moran, President & CEO of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She added, “What an incredible opportunity and great privilege to be in the presence of Justin, the wizard Bill Withers, Max Martin and Shellback — all prolific songwriters with the Midas touch! Listen and learn!”

Mary Jo Mennella, SHOF Board Member and West Coast Events Chair remarked, “The West Coast Songwriters Hall of Fame team is absolutely thrilled to bring together several of the world’s finest songwriters to present the film Trolls and showcase the extraordinary talents of Justin Timberlake. The collaboration between Hollywood and the songwriting community continues to flourish and we’re delighted to have Bill Withers share his unique perspective with us.”
