Child Stars Shine: Grammy Nominees Under 11
26 Nov
Summary
- Two artists under 11 received Grammy nominations for children's music albums.
- Aura V and Joya are the youngest nominees, both collaborating with a parent.
- Nine artists in Grammy history have been nominated before turning 11.
The recent Grammy nominations unveiled two remarkable young talents, Aura V, aged 8, and Joya, who have secured nods in the Best Children's Music Album category. Both artists achieved this milestone by collaborating with their respective parents on their nominated works, making them some of the youngest individuals ever to be recognized by the Recording Academy. Their achievements highlight a growing trend of familial musical partnerships reaching prestigious platforms.
This accomplishment places Aura V and Joya in an elite group, as only seven other artists in Grammy history have received nominations before their eleventh birthday. Among these past nominees, a notable few also achieved recognition for collaborations with a parent. Examples include Hazel Monét, who was nominated for a track from her mother Victoria Monét's album, and Blue Ivy Carter, recognized for her involvement in her mother Beyoncé's song "Brown Skin Girl."
In addition to these young stars, the Best Children's Music Album category also features nominations for Mega Ran, Flor Bromley, and Tori Amos, marking Amos's ninth career nomination and her first in this specific genre. This diverse field underscores the breadth of talent recognized, from established artists to emerging child prodigies, all vying for a Grammy Award.
