The 2024 Polar Music Prize is awarded to @NileRodgers from the USA. Dance music has been played for thousands of years. However, there are few in history, if any, who have composed dance music as sophisticated and subtly arranged as Nile Rodgers. It is fitting that his group was named Chic: elegance is part of his musical hallmark. As a composer, producer and guitarist, Nile Rodgers turned disco and funk into an artform. His chop chord style of guitar playing, which he calls chucking, creates a hypnotic swing that has kept millions grooving on the dance floor. The songs created by Nile Rodgers for Chic, @SisterSledgeTV, @DianaRoss, @davidbowie, @madonna, @daftpunk and many others are so well-crafted that they will outlive us all.
