Backstory…
The Grammy Awards are among the music industry’s most recognised honours, presented annually by the Recording Academy, a US organisation representing music professionals, including singers, songwriters, producers and recording engineers.
The awards recognise excellence across musical genres and recording disciplines, with nominees and winners determined through a peer-based process involving eligible industry professionals.
Davido’s latest Grammy submissions follow several years of growing recognition for Nigerian Afrobeats at the international awards.
The singer received his first Grammy nominations in 2024, when his fourth studio album, Timeless, was shortlisted for Best Global Music Album, while “Feel” competed for Best Global Music Performance and “Unavailable,” featuring Musa Keys, was nominated for Best African Music Performance. However, he did not win in any of the three categories.
