He didn’t just write ‘We Are Family’ — he built a foundation around it. 🎶

Today our co-founder joins ’s 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters — alongside Wonder, Dylan, Jay-Z, Swift and more phenomenal musicians who literally shaped what music sounds like.

Six decades, countless classics, and one unmistakable groove. The same artistry that gave the world ‘We Are Family’ is what powers our work with young people every single day.

Congratulations, Nile. None of this happens without you. ❤️
