Trent Reznor Honored at ASCAP Pop Awards: ‘I’m Starting to Get the Hang of Songwriting’

It’s been nearly 25 years since Nine Inch Nails’ debut Pretty Hate Machine was released, but even with millions of albums sold over the course of an influential, tumultuous and ultimately triumphant career, Trent Reznor insists he’s still learning his craft.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday night at the ASCAP Pop Awards in Hollywood, where Reznor received the ASCAP Golden Note Award, the rocker-turned-Oscar-winning composer said the honor had extra special meaning. “That compliment means a lot to me [because] songwriting is a thing that I feel like I’m just getting started,” said Reznor. “I’m really starting to get the hang of it but every day is a new lesson. I’m a student here and to receive this kind of acknowledgment, it feels nice.”
