KAYTRANADA BECOMES FIRST BLACK ARTIST TO WIN BEST DANCE ALBUM GRAMMY

The winners of the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards were revealed yesterday, March 14.

Among the winners, Kaytranada took home the trophy in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category for ‘BUBBA’, becoming the first Black artist to win despite dance music's Black origins.

The category was founded in 2005, with previous winners including The Chemical Brothers, Madonna, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Skrillex, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk and Justice.

Kaytranada also won the GRAMMY Award for Best Dance Recording for his collaboration with Kali Uchis ‘10%’. The award has previously been won by artists such as Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder, Janet Jackson, LCD Soundsystem, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne.
