Julio Iglesias to receive honorary degree from Berklee

Julio Iglesias and three other prominent music industry figures will receive honorary degrees from Boston’s Berklee College of Music at its commencement next month.

Sony Music Entertainment CEO Doug Morris, drummer Harvey Mason and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Dee Dee Bridgewater will also receive honorary doctorates at the ceremony on May 9.

Berklee says Iglesias and the others are being recognised for their achievements and influences in music and for their enduring contributions to American and international culture.
