Benjamin Ingrosso had the most nominations of all at this year’s Grammysgala, with five. In addition to the prize in the category of the year’s artist, he took home grammar statues in the categories album of the year, for “Pink Velvet Theater”, and this year’s song, for “Honey Boy”.
– I am very smeared and very happy. I’m sick fucking happy and proud, Ingrosso tells TV4 News after the gala.
This is not the first time the artist has received a grammar. Also three years ago he received the award in the category Artist of the Year.
– When I got up then I was a little ashamed because I didn’t think I deserved it, to find it for a year when I actually feel I deserve it, it’s damn nice. All my life I have dreamed of being accepted for my music, he says.
Was praised posthumously
During the gala, the murdered rapper C Gambino was praised, who received a Grammis posthumously.
During the awards ceremony, the Oscar Chase presented the rapper’s unreleased song “Angel” together with the symphony orchestra, which was met by standing ovations in the arena.
C Gambino is praised for its album “In Memory of Some Stand Up Guys (Private Collection).
Others who received the award during the evening were Thåström, in the category of Rock of the Year, Amanda Bergman in the category Visa/Songwriter of the Year, and Miriam Bryant in the category of Pop of the Year.
