At the time of his nomination, Kej had said, “It is an absolute honour to be nominated a second time for a Grammy Award for our album Divine Tides. Although my music is cross-cultural, it has always had strong Indian roots and I am extremely proud that Indian music has been recognized and shortlisted for this prestigious award by The Recording Academy. This nomination encourages me further and solidifies my belief to continue making music that can inspire positive social impact.”
The Grammy Awards 2023 were given out on Monday morning (Sunday evening US time) at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, USA. Considered one of the most prestigious international awards in the field of music, the Grammys are given by the Recording Academy, an American learned academy of musicians, producers, recording engineers, and other musical professionals.
