The Ivors 2022: Producer Inflo, Adele and Ed Sheeran lead the nominations

Adele, Little Simz, Ed Sheeran and Dave are among the artists in the running for Songwriter of the Year at The Ivors this year.

After what Ivor Novello Awards judge and winner Shaznay Lewis called “an outstanding year for music,” competition for the 2022 awards looks particularly fierce.

Producer Inflo leads this year’s nominations with four nods, followed by Sheeran, who is nominated for three.

“I am filled with admiration for the 77 talented songwriters and composers we are celebrating this year,” Lewis said in a statement.

“Her work and her words touch a dizzying array of emotions, and I feel fortunate to have heard her stories. As it has every year since 1956, The Ivors celebrates the excellence of musical creation and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to each nominee.”

The ceremony will take place this year on Thursday 19 May at Grosvenor House in London.
