Although these Grammy novices are receiving their initial accolades from the Recording Academy, many of them have been involved in the music industry for quite some time. For instance, Sabrina, who was once on the Disney Channel, put out her first album titled “Eyes Wide Open” back in 2015. However, it’s only recently that she’s risen to pop princess fame with her 2022 track “Nonsense” and popular songs such as “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” which are off her breakthrough album “Short N’ Sweet.
Back in 2014, I, a diehard fan, witnessed Shaboozey unleash his debut single, “Jeff Gordon.” Fast forward a decade, and he’s not just the guy behind that track, but the genius mind behind hits like “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “My Fault.” Just like his fellow nominees, this singer-songwriter had a grand plan for his career, a vision that others didn’t fully grasp until more recently. I’ve been there, cheering him on every step of the way!

Some of these musicians aren’t just competing for Best New Artist at the February 2nd ceremony; in fact, both Sabrina and Chappell have garnered a total of six nominations. Among their nominations are Album of the Year and Record of the Year as well.

Without a doubt, the past year has been an exhilarating rollercoaster ride for the artist, whose newest album boasts popular tracks such as “HOT TO GO!” and “Casual.” However, it’s the 2024 hit single “Good Luck, Babe!” that has people resisting the urge to dance. The 26-year-old artist is behind this infectious track.
The singer of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” had quite an eventful year, with achievements in the country music sphere and beyond. To begin with, his popular single, a remix of J-Kwon’s 2004 hit, has now been certified platinum and has become a frequent tune on radio stations nationwide.
Later, Shaboozey, also known as Collins Obinna Chibueze, whose stage name is derived from a mispronunciation of his last name, teamed up with Beyoncé on two tracks for her album “Cowboy Carter”: “SPAGHETTII” and “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN.

Although he didn’t win American Idol in 2021, the contestant from season 19 has still managed to establish himself successfully. The 21-year-old gained attention with his ballads “In the Stars” and “Ghost Town.” However, it was his single “Beautiful Things,” which became a popular choice on TikTok, that soared up the charts this year, earning him a well-deserved place in this category.
For five years now, Teddy (born Jaten Collin Dimsdale) has been making waves with his own tunes, following his cover of “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi on Spotify. His latest album, “I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)” features hits like “Lose Control,” “The Door,” and “Hammer to the Heart,” all released in 2023.
The artist, who hails from Atlanta, blends genres of R&B, soul, country and pop into his music.
Feel free to suppress those Oscar-worthy emotions, as the sensational British musician is heading towards a Grammy nomination. This R&B and jazz vocalist captivated the music scene with her 2022 hit single “Escapism,” which became an internet sensation on TikTok and later appeared on her 2023 album “My 21st Century Blues,” together with “Oscar Winning Tears” and “Worth it.
Over the past few short years, I’ve been fortunate enough to witness a surge in popularity for Raye. As Halloween 2024 approached, none other than the talented Christina Aguilera chose to emulate me, donning a bouncy bob wig and adorned gown. Not only am I nominated for Best New Artist, but also for Songwriter of the Year – a title that fills me with immense pride, being a devoted South London native.
While “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” from 2020 brought her immediate online success, it was just one of the many singles that contributed to her rapidly growing fanbase. With tracks like “Crazy,” “Persuasive,” and “What It Is,” the Florida-born artist has demonstrated her strength and influence in the music industry, as shown by her 2025 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
Indeed, as she unveiled her album titled “Alligator Bites Never Heal“, it presented a timely opportunity for Grammy nominations, securing her recognition in Rolling Stone, with an exuberant exclamation: “Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
She explained to the publication in September that her approach was to provide context when working on the project. She emphasized the significance of having a context as it helps avoid a sense of lengthiness in discussions. Without a story or narrative to follow, conversations can feel disjointed. She believed it essential for her to share her personal journey comprehensively and in various aspects, using multiple perspectives. Furthermore, she thought it crucial that we followed the sequence of events in her life, detailing how these experiences affected her, how she overcame them, and where she stands today.
The three-piece band from Houston, Texas, generated a lot of buzz following their 2004 encounter and joint performances. However, it was their debut album in 2015 titled “The Universe Smiles Upon You” that truly captivated the music scene. This album was produced by the group themselves, which included guitarist Mark Speer, bassist Laura Lee, and drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson.
As a devoted fan, I must say that their newest release, “A La Sala,” seems to have brought them back to a more authentic and emotionally resonant space.
In an interview with Elle in April, Lee expressed that the album they produced had a very intimate and personal feel among the three of them. It was reminiscent of a family gathering, much like the phrase “a la sala” which I used to use as a child to round up my family into the living room for togetherness. So, this project felt like recapturing that warm family sentiment.
