RAYE Makes History With Three GRAMMY Nominations

British singer-songwriter RAYE has solidified her position as one of the music industry’s brightest stars, amassing millions of record sales, achieving eight Top 20 UK singles, and racking up an impressive six billion Spotify streams. Known for her powerful voice and songwriting prowess, RAYE has written hits not only for herself but for top artists like Beyoncé and Charli XCX, showcasing her versatility and influence in the music world. Her hard work and talent have now been acknowledged in a major way, as she celebrates three nominations at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards, unveiled today by the Recording Academy.

Among her nominations, RAYE is in the running for Best New Artist, where she’ll compete alongside a cohort of breakthrough talents including Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Shaboozey. She has also made history by earning a nod for Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical, highlighting her contributions to hits with powerhouse names such as Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Halle, and Lucky Daye. This unique combination of categories – Best New Artist and Songwriter of the Year – marks RAYE as the first artist ever to be nominated for both in the same year, underscoring her unprecedented influence and multifaceted impact on today’s music scene. Her third nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, recognizes her work on Lucky Daye’s “Algorithm,” reflecting her technical acumen in addition to her artistic talents.

These GRAMMY nominations crown a stellar year for RAYE, who earlier in 2024 made waves at the BRIT Awards, taking home a record-breaking six awards in a single night for her debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her achievements at the BRITs included becoming the first female artist to win Songwriter of the Year, a momentous victory for an independent artist, highlighting her trailblazing role in the industry. Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards, set to air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025, where RAYE may very well add another chapter to her impressive legacy.
