Victoria Monét‘s much-deserved seven Grammy Award nominations come with a special moment for her closest collaborator. As a featured artist on “Hollywood” from the Jaguar II album, the breakthrough R&B performer’s daughter, Hazel Monét, is also up for big wins at the 2024 event.
The 2-year-old’s nominations make her the youngest nominee in Grammy Award history. If the song or album takes the prize, Hazel will be just shy of her third birthday when awarded.
“Hollywood” is up for Best Traditional R&B song, and Jaguar II is nominated in the Best R&B Album category. Hazel is also credited as a co-writer on “Hollywood” although the endearing track, which also features Earth, Wind & Fire, is not nominated in a songwriting category.
Previously, the youngest person to receive a Grammy nomination as an individual, not part of a duo or group, was DeLeon Richards, who was 8 years old in 1985 when she was nominated for Best Soul Gospel Performance, Female for her album DeLeon. Leah Peasall held the record as the youngest Grammy nominee and winner as part of The Peasall Sisters in 2002 with her siblings Hannah, then 11, and Sarah, then 14.
The youngest person to win a Grammy award as an individual, not part of a duo or group, is Blue Ivy, the eldest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. She took home the award for Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl” in 2021 at 8-years-old.
As for Victoria Monét, 2023 served as her breakout year with the release of the aforementioned Jaguar II. Her nominations include Best New Artist, Record of the Year for “On My Mama,” Best R&B Album, and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for Jaguar II.
She is also up for Best R&B Performance for “How Does It Make You Feel.”
“I made a promise to myself when I moved to L.A. that no matter how broke I was, I wouldn’t go get a job that I hated, at an office, or anything that I felt like I didn’t have a passion for. I went through it, being that stubborn Taurus—or determined, if you look at it a certain way, not to do anything less than what I came here for. Not to give up. Not to move home and take the easy way. So, because I don’t view what I’m doing as work, I think that’s why I’m so dedicated to it,” explained the singer earlier this year.
This year marks her first time being recognized as a competing artist. Monét was previously up for an award for her work with Ariana Grande as the co-producer of “7 Rings” and Thank U, Next.
The 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards will return to Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 4, 2024, and will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live on-demand via Paramount+.
