It`s indeed a proud moment for India as musician Ricky Kej won his third Grammy Award on Monday for the album "Divine Tides" with the renowned drummer of the English Rock Band Stewart Copeland.
Bengaluru-based music composer Ricky Kej won his third Grammy award for his album "Divine Tides". The musician shared the award with Stewart Copeland, the drummer of the iconic British rock band The Police, who collaborated with him on the album. At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, the duo won the Gramophone trophy in the best immersive audio album winner category. They also won a Grammy in the best new age album category for the same album last year.
The Recording Academy, the organization behind Grammy Awards, congratulated Kej and Stewart on its official Twitter page and wrote, "Congrats Best Immersive Audio Album winner - `Divine Tides` Eric Schilling, immersive mix engineer; @copelandmusic, @rickykej & Herbert Waltl, immersive producers (Stewart Copeland & Ricky Kej) #GRAMMYs."
Kej`s Divine Tides is a nine-song album that aims to give a positive message that, "each individual life plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance that serves all equally".
During the nomination, Kej said, "It is an absolute honor 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."
Ricky is the youngest person from India who made us proud by winning the Grammy award for the third time.
