SPOTLIGHT: ANDREA GRANT

Irvine-based Andrea Grant is a Canadian-born writer and multimedia artist of mixed-blood Coast Salish Native ancestry. Her artistic reputation comes from a unique melding of mythological stories, poems, photography, film, spoken word audio, and live performances designed to create a dynamic expression that can be understood on many levels.

Throughout, her work is deeply informed by her First Nations heritage, where she often weaves together traditional Coast Salish legends and classic fairytales which are infused with multicultural and feminist influences. Due to this blended point of view, her writing is often described as being that of a “Modern Native.”

Her spoken word film, “Night Swimming,” unfolds through the lens of Grant and uses the diverse facets of water as an allegory for the emotional range of women. The narrative explores a profound connection to the potency of the ocean, rain, and storms, showcasing an acknowledgment of Mother Earth’s timely bestowal of her gifts. The essence of the story extends to the healing process, emphasizing the purifying nature of ocean swims and the cathartic satisfaction found in thunderstorms during periods of romantic upheaval. Furthermore, it delves into the exhilaration of dancing in the rain, the wisdom of intuitive listening, and the reverence for ancestral voices that guide and resonate within us.

360 Magazine + Andrea Grant

When and at what age did you realize you were an artist? Particularly a spoken word artist?

I have always felt a deep inclination towards storytelling. The desire to become a writer was innate within me, with poetry being my initial passion. This led me to pursue studies in Creative Writing and English Literature during my college years, which significantly refined my craft.

My journey into spoken word poetry began with the encouragement of one of my favorite teachers inviting me to recite at an event. Despite the nerves, I recognized the importance of embracing spoken word as a pivotal step in advancing my career as a poet.

It took a lot of practice – and voice lessons – to learn how to project my voice and maintain consistent volume. In 2003, I recorded my debut spoken word album, “Want Some Scratch?” Since then, I’ve continued to expand my repertoire, recording “Modern Native” and “Night Swimming,” which I later adapted for film.

What inspired the project NIGHT SWIMMING?

I’ve always associated water with femininity. In “Night Swimming,” I explore this connection by delving into the profound power of the ocean, rain, and storms, and how they symbolize Mother Earth’s nurturing essence, especially in times of need.

The piece also explores themes of healing, highlighting how immersing oneself in the ocean can be a purifying experience, akin to washing away troubles. It touches on the catharsis of experiencing a thunderstorm during moments of romantic turmoil. Additionally, “Night Swimming” celebrates the exhilaration of dancing in the rain, embracing intuition, and paying homage to the ancestral voices of Native peoples that continue to guide us.

How important was it for you to push out this particular project?

Very important. The transition from an oral tradition to a print-based society has unfortunately resulted in the loss of numerous First Nations stories. These narratives, rich with cultural significance and wisdom, were once passed down through generations via spoken word, but with the advent of the print world, many were left undocumented and eventually forgotten. This loss not only deprives Indigenous communities of their heritage but also diminishes the broader understanding of diverse cultural perspectives.

In response to this cultural erosion, there arises an urgent need to preserve and share these Native narratives in a contemporary and accessible format. By revitalizing these stories through various mediums, including films, digital platforms, and visual arts, we can ensure their preservation and accessibility to present and future generations.

Once you received acknowledgement for NIGHT SWIMMING, how did it make you feel? Whom did you first reach out to? And why?

While receiving acknowledgment is certainly gratifying, I believe that as a creator, one never truly reaches a point of complete satisfaction. There’s an inherent drive to continually strive for more. “Night Swimming” represents my second venture into spoken word, and I initiated its launch by submitting it to various film festivals. Once a film gains acceptance and earns accolades, it tends to attract more attention from audiences. I’ve also been fortunate to have received some press coverage, which serves to further amplify awareness of the project.

Is there anything that we should know about the process of disseminating NIGHT SWIMMING? Any tribulations?

The artist’s path is not for the faint of heart, and it’s characterized by numerous hurdles, which ultimately add to its allure. Distributing a short film presents a significant challenge since it doesn’t conform to the typical 30-minute to 1.5-hour time slot, making it less likely to be featured in traditional theater settings. While social media platforms offer a means of promotion, there’s a limit to their effectiveness due to digital fatigue among audiences. However, consistent exposure can spark interest, provided it’s done in a manner that isn’t overwhelming.

Are there any words of wisdom, you would explain to the 10yro version of yourself to better prepare for the journey you embarked?

In addition to reassuring my younger self that my thick, nerdy glasses were temporary and that contact lenses would change my life, I would also emphasize the importance of a belief I’ve always held dear: that we have the ability to shape our own reality. Since childhood, I’ve been a diligent creator of lists outlining my goals and aspirations, serving as a guiding map for my future endeavors. I firmly believe that willpower is the most potent force one can possess and that manifesting one’s destiny is a deliberate and strategic choice. Being an avid reader, I’ve often found inspiration in fairytales, which frequently convey the message that the power to achieve our desires lies within us all along.

That said, there is no universal secret to success. There’s no single path to follow, no magic formula to uncover; each person’s journey is unique.

Is there anything we haven’t touched on that you would like to speak about? Community involvement? Sequel?

I’m in the process of creating a new full-length spoken word album and finishing up an illustrated collection of reimagined Coast Salish stories.

Additionally, I’m directing my attention towards my comic book series, “Minx,” with the goal of adapting it into a video game as well as an animated or live-action series.

Lamborghini HYBRID URUS

Automobili Lamborghini opens a new chapter in its history with the Urus SE, the first hybrid plug-in version of the Lamborghini Super SUV, unveiled at the Volkswagen Group Media Night ahead of the public premiere at Auto China Beijing 2024 on April 25 at 11 AM local time. Featuring a new design, optimized aerodynamics, unprecedented on-board technology and an 800 CV hybrid powertrain, the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version moves on Urus S in terms of comfort, performance, efficiency, emissions and driving pleasure. Thanks to its “two hearts”, thermal and electric, the torque and power values are the highest ever, giving the SE a unique place in its category and boasting an 80% reduction in emissions.

“With the Urus we changed the paradigms of the SUV world, ushering in a new segment,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman & CEO. “In just a few years, the Urus has become our brand’s bestseller, enabling Lamborghini to attract new customers and strengthen its position in the most important markets. With the Urus SE, we’ve taken another step towards the future in line with our Direzione Cor Tauri strategy, moving ahead with the electrification of the range and the path toward decarbonization that began with the introduction of the Revuelto super sports car in March 2023.”

LAMBORGHINI – ALL TERRAIN

Automobili Lamborghini presents a limited edition ‘All Terrain’ Ad Personam special series of the Huracán Sterrato at Italy’s prestigious Milan Design Week. The 12 cars, with exclusive liveries developed by Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio in conjunction with its Centro Stile, are inspired by four different terrains to which the Huracán Sterrato especially lends its talents: snow, sand, off-beat tracks, and the earthiness of arid deserts.

Presented by Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, the All-Terrain versions made their world premiere to over 200 guests at Segheria of Tanja Solci, Milan – the chosen frame venue known as Object d’Art for her restauration vision – with a specially-created setting in which to present the provocative and particular personalities of the special series. Inspired by the disruptive tendencies of nature, each car is seen against a backdrop of the specific environment by which its livery is influenced, such as rocks, desert, and forests.

Each of the four Sterrato versions features a matt camouflage paint scheme created by Lamborghini’s Ad Personam studio: reflecting the natural environments in which the Sterrato excels, the All-Terrain editions adopt the colors of the landscapes from which they take their inspiration. NEVE (snow) takes the sophisticated ice-cool hues of the tundra; SABBIA (sand) features the neutral tones of warm desert and green cacti, evocative of dunes and oases. The BOSCO (green track) evokes the trees, mosses and leaves of forest paths, while the TERRA (gravel) recalls the warm ground and sands of moorland environments and arid landscapes under powerful sunsets. The unique exteriors are finished with roof and upper bonnet cover in matt black, together with roof rails and cross bars. The lower part of the car is also painted matt black with a lower band in an accent color dedicated to each of the four versions, set off by Morus 19” matt black forged rims, complementary caliper colors and additional lights. Complementary internal Ad Personam specifications feature dark chrome and carbon twill with Alcantara, lasered Sterrato dedicated graphics and an Ad Personam plate denoting the special edition while recalling the external livery.

Presented during the evening event, the car was unveiled on stage in a display that evoked the power of nature and adventure. A giant Trompe L’Oeil depicting the perfect setting for the unveiled car, was created live during the evening by an Italian artist.

For the occasion the Michelin-starred Italian culinary experience designed by chef Enrico Cerea from the famous “Da Vittorio”, has offered dishes inspired by the cool of snow and ice, the heat of the desert and the lush vegetation of the forest, with further entertainment from a top Milanese DJ. Attendees explored the 3T bicycle inspired by Lamborghini super sports cars, as well as Culti fragrances, and a workshop demonstrating the artisanal creation of the iconic Gommino loafer by Italian design house Tod’s, all licensee partners of Automobili Lamborghini.

The 12 cars are already sold to selected clients in the three main commercial areas of USA and Latin America (ALA), Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific and Australia (APAC) within the total production volume of 1499 for which deliveries commenced in 2023. Each EMEA, as well as the other areas, will receive the 4 unique special series cars that will be the unique ones in their countries.

“The Sterrato concept proved itself from the moment it was first unveiled, endorsed not only by awards won, media and customers acclaim, but from its resounding commercial success with all units immediately sold out,” said Chief Commercial and Marketing and Officer, Federico Foschini. “Limited series that demonstrate Lamborghini’s competence in personalization through our Ad Personam studio are an important part of our business model, with Milan Design Week the perfect forum to present this capsule edition.”

The Sterrato’s 5.2-liter V10 engine delivers a maximum power output of 610 CV and 560 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, combined with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and electronically controlled all-wheel drive with rear mechanical self-locking differential. Its wider tracks and increased ride height help maximize the super sports car’s fun-to-drive personality on both road and away from the tarmac. Designed to offer optimum performance on loose surfaces, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph).

YOLO MA

As children, we bear witness to our mothers many sacrifices: abruptly dropping out of college, a dream job deferred, and/or putting their personal needs last. Mainly due to their willingness to be overprotective and paranoid about our safety once we step foot outside. I recall shortly after leaving the nest for college that my heart felt twisted. I’m super eager to be on my own again, yet anxious to foreshadow what’s to come next.

So, two years into higher learning, I returned without a key in hand, and viciously knocked on the door. On an about-face, I cocked my foot into trigger position only to be met by a riper version of the woman I left.

While crying, I immediately called my sister and asked what had happened. The snot danced down my cheek and she blurted, ‘She had a major stroke!’

I have compiled a list of some of my favorite discoveries that I wish my mother, Yvonne Maria Lowery, had the chance to indulge in.

NOKIA C210

Who hasn’t attended a music festival, realizing once they returned to the venue’s parking lot that their phone was missing. Or, during a white water rafting ride, the raging waters violently snatched your cell and keys overboard because you opted out of purchasing the protective case with the lanyard. Our careless behavior costs deductible and unwarranted visits to your mobile carrier’s consumer experience center. Don’t fret. This time, you brought a C210 armed with an AI-intelligent, 13MP lens, gorilla glass, and a 6’3″ colorful display. Instead of witnessing your $2500 Samsung S23 ultra 1TB get dropped off the VIP balcony, it was your $100 burner phone.

CANON INKLESS PRINTER

Finally, it’s the first time you can avoid a photo booth being bombed by your ex and/or boozed out bestie. Even on celfie number ninety-nine, you come to the realization that you only needed 1 maybe 2 of your expert raw photos and a session with the built-in Light room app. For $129 with a wad of thermo sheets, you’re now positioned to be most celebrated at your next function.

GV Home

David Kong, a 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, single-handedly revolutionized the wine industry by creating the direct-to-consumer stemware company by delivering high-quality, handblown glassware that you’d find in Michelin star restaurants but at affordable prices. How, you ask? By cutting out the middleman and working directly with the glass artisans themselves.

David was so successful that Glasvin has become the go-to stemware brand for over two dozen Michelin star and top restaurants in the nation such as: Juliet LA, Christie’s, Antico Nuovo, Shoku, and Stella West Hollywood. David also recently launched GV Home to bring his highly popular glassware directly to consumers. GV Home was the 3rd most-funded wine glass in the history of Kickstarter (2nd most stemmed glass).

Gucci Interlocking Fine Jewelry

Gucci Interlocking fine jewelry collection was designed as a tribute to the House’s founder, Guccio Gucci. The collection represents luxury, quality, and Italian craftsmanship.

The latest designs present a modern interpretation of the iconic Interlocking G motif, prominently placed within a circular charm adorned with exquisite gemstones. The mood of the campaign exudes a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication, where the colored gemstones create a striking contrast against the jewelry setting. Abstract elements of the Interlocking G logo act as a refined framework and highlight the new designs’ complex craftsmanship and balanced aesthetic.

The collection comprises three different sets of jewelry, each spotlighting a different gemstone: onyx, green agate or mother-of-pearl. While black onyx is elegantly contrasted with yellow gold, the green agate is set playfully against pink gold. A third version, crafted in mother-of-pearl, is combined with pink gold and peppered with diamond pavé on the central motif.

Each set features two rings, available either with a 12mm or 17mm disc charm, along with a bracelet, a choice between delicate paired studs or hoop earrings with a pendant, and a necklace featuring a 12mm ornament. Two statement necklaces with larger 27mm medallions, available in onyx and mother-of-pearl, complete the selection.

Tea Forte + NYBG

A partnership of tea and nature.

Invest time in learning about scales, chord progressions, time signatures, and music notation. This knowledge will serve as a solid foundation upon which you can build your skills and experiment with various genres and styles.

Hone Your Technical Skills

Music production is a highly technical field that requires proficiency in various software and hardware tools. Familiarize yourself with popular digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or FL Studio. These powerful software applications are the backbone of modern music production, allowing you to record, edit, mix, and master audio.

Navigating the intricacies of a career in music production requires dedication, hands-on experience, and staying informed about industry trends, and accessing resources like https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/best-essay-writing-services-reviews-websites-get-top-papers-walton-k7sye can offer valuable insights and recommendations to support your journey towards success. Additionally, gain experience with audio interfaces, MIDI controllers, and other studio equipment. Understanding signal flow, microphone techniques, and signal processing is essential for creating high-quality recordings and mixes.

Develop an Ear for Sound

One of the most valuable assets for a music producer is a trained ear. Cultivate your ability to analyze and critically listen to various elements of a music production, such as instrumental balance, tonal quality, and spatial positioning.

Practice active listening exercises, study reference tracks from your favorite artists, and learn to identify different sound characteristics. This skill will not only improve your mixing and mastering abilities but also help you communicate effectively with artists and engineers.

Embrace Collaboration

Music production is often a collaborative process, involving artists, songwriters, musicians, and other industry professionals. Embrace opportunities to work with others, as it will expose you to different perspectives, styles, and workflows.

Develop strong interpersonal skills and learn to effectively communicate your ideas while remaining open to feedback and constructive criticism. Collaborating with others can lead to valuable networking opportunities and potential mentorship relationships.

Stay Up-to-Date with Industry Trends

The music industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, production techniques, and genres emerging regularly. Stay informed about the latest trends, gear, and software updates by reading industry publications, attending workshops and conferences, and engaging with online communities.

Embrace a lifelong learning mindset and be willing to adapt your skills and knowledge as the industry changes. This adaptability will keep you relevant and competitive in the ever-changing music production landscape.

Build a Professional Portfolio

As a music producer, your portfolio is your calling card. Curate a collection of your best work, showcasing your versatility, technical proficiency, and creative prowess. Include a diverse range of genres, styles, and projects that demonstrate your abilities.

Create an online presence by developing a website or maintaining an active presence on platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or YouTube. Share your portfolio with potential clients, record labels, and industry professionals to increase your visibility and showcase your talent.

Network and Establish Industry Connections

Networking is crucial in the music industry, as many opportunities arise through personal connections and word-of-mouth recommendations. Attend local music events, industry meetups, and conferences to connect with fellow producers, artists, and industry professionals.

Engage with online communities and forums, participate in collaborative projects, and consider internships or entry-level positions at recording studios or music companies. Building a strong network can lead to valuable mentorship opportunities, job prospects, and potential collaborations.

Develop Business and Entrepreneurial Skills

While creativity and technical expertise are essential, successful music producers also need to possess strong business and entrepreneurial skills. Learn about music licensing, copyright laws, royalty structures, and contract negotiations.

Develop skills in project management, budgeting, and marketing to effectively promote and manage your services. Consider taking courses or seeking guidance from industry professionals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the business side of music production.

Embrace Versatility and Continuous Learning

Music production is a multifaceted field that requires versatility and a willingness to learn continuously. Explore different genres, production techniques, and workflow strategies to expand your skillset and stay competitive.

Embrace new technologies and software updates, and experiment with unconventional approaches to push your creative boundaries. Attend workshops, online tutorials, and seek feedback from experienced professionals to refine your craft and stay ahead of the curve.

Cultivate Patience and Perseverance

Pursuing a career in music production requires patience and perseverance. Success rarely happens overnight, and there may be times when you face rejection, setbacks, or creative blocks.

Develop a thick skin and a resilient mindset. Learn from failures and use them as opportunities for growth. Celebrate small victories and milestones, and stay focused on your long-term goals. Consistency, hard work, and a positive attitude will be instrumental in overcoming challenges and achieving success in this highly competitive field.

By following these tips and strategies, aspiring music producers can navigate the path to a fulfilling and rewarding career in this dynamic industry.

Teddy Swims NA Tour

Chart-topping vocal powerhouse Teddy Swims announces the continuation of his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy North American headline tour with new dates in September and October. After a performance at Outside Lands Festival in August, the run kicks off in Reno, NV on September 6 and continues throughout the country, including a show in Pittsburgh supporting Aerosmith, before wrapping up in Anaheim, CA on October 21. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 26 at 10am local time. Click HERE for more information.

The news arrives just ahead of the deluxe edition of Swims’ acclaimed debut album. Releasing this Friday, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1.5) includes four brand-new songs, in addition to his chart-conquering smash hit “Lose Control,” which recently claimed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, hit #1 at Top 40 and Hot AC radio, and has surpassed 1 billion streams across all platforms.

Swims recently performed “Lose Control” on American Idol and rolled out the dazzling video for his new viral track “The Door.” On top of all that, Swims is currently making his way through the U.K. and Europe on his mega-successful I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy tour.

Putting in real work for years, a quiet, yet steady grind brought Swims to the forefront of popular culture as a tried-and-true star without comparison. Teddy started to gain notoriety after posting covers online in 2019 — such as Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” and Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” — gaining hundreds of millions of views, leading to his signing to Warner Records in 2020. He tirelessly honed his voice and songwriting across EPs such as Unlearning [2021], Tough Love [2022], and Sleep Is Exhausting [2022]. He showcased his sky-high range by collaborating with artists such as Maren Morris, Meghan Trainor, X Ambassadors, ILLENIUM, Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, and Matoma. He made a statement with I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) in 2023, and wrapped up a prolific run by releasing a Live Version of the album alongside his band Freak Freely at the top of 2024.

Swims is currently on the road, continuing his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour throughout the UK and Europe. He will then continue the tour throughout New Zealand, Australia, and Asia, before bringing it back stateside for more shows, including a performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Meet other sneaker culture enthusiasts or add an exclusive set to your collection when visiting Silhouette Sneakers & Art.

Coop’s Sneaker shop is located in the exact spot where a shoe store reposed before it was arsoned in the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.

A central theme in Coop’s mission is to revitalize the Greenwood District and this is why she located her shop in the heart of the neighborhood—on the same footprint as the shoe store that was destroyed during the 1921 massacre.

Excerpt from a May 24, 2021 New York Times article about the terror attack on the Greenwood neighborhood:

Brick and wood-frame homes dotted the landscape, along with blocks lined with grocery stores, hotels, nightclubs, billiard halls, theaters, doctor’s offices and churches.

Greenwood was so promising, so vibrant that it became home to what was known as America’s Black Wall Street. But what took years to build was erased in less than 24 hours by racial violence — sending the dead into mass graves and forever altering family trees.

Hundreds of Greenwood residents were brutally killed, their homes and businesses wiped out. They were casualties of a furious and heavily armed white mob of looters and arsonists. One factor that drove the violence: resentment toward the Black prosperity found in block after block of Greenwood.

The financial toll of the massacre is evident in the $1.8 million in property loss claims — $27 million in today’s dollars — detailed in a 2001 state commission report.

For two decades, the report has been one of the most comprehensive accounts to reveal the horrific details of the massacre — among the worst racial terror attacks in the nation’s history — as well as the government’s culpability.

DJ SNAKE + PESO PLUMA

DJ SNAKE AND PESO PLUMA STAR IN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “TEKA”

WATCH HERE

Released earlier this week, globally renowned French DJ and multi-platinum producer DJ Snake joins forces with international sensation Peso Pluma for electric new single “Teka” via Interscope Records. The superstar collaboration fuses Pluma’s crisp vocals with Snake’s dynamic production skills resulting in a pulsating anthem transcendent of cultural genre boundaries. The record was first previewed during DJ Snake’s explosive set at Coachella, when he was joined on stage by Peso Pluma to play the song live for the first time. Watch official music video HERE.

“The weekend has arrived, Italian brand clothes,” Pluma raps in Spanish over a thick bass-beat and hypnotic guitar loop. He then leads the way to an instantly catchy chorus, “she’s gonna rock the discotheque, theque, theque, theque, theque.” With an undeniable hook, and Snake’s frenetic, culture-colling production, the dance-floor-filler has arrived just in time to provide a sure summer staple in the coming months.

“Teka” follows quickly on the heels of “Big Bang,” the French producer’s recent collaboration with Crankdat, which marked Snake’s first release since dropping the joyous “West Side Story” last summer. Prior to that, he rolled out “Guddi Riddim” featuring the Nooran Sisters, which was a viral sensation even before its release after a live performance in India spread far and wide online. Now, with “Teka,” Snake and Pluma both lean into their strengths, offering up a party-starting gem with promise to last through summer and beyond.

ABOUT DJ SNAKE:

No other artist embodies the concept of global dance music better than DJ Snake, who over the last decade has achieved the kind of rarified and wildly transformative success that few ever come close to attaining. Originally from a housing project on the outskirts of Paris, Snake made his full-length debut in 2016 with Encore, a groundbreaking album that reached #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and debuted in the top 10 around the world. His 2019 album, Carte Blanche only furthered his superstardom with global hits “Loco Contigo” featuring J. Balvin & Tyga, and “Taki Taki” featuring Selena Gomez, Ozuna, and Cardi B. Since scoring his first #1 single with the four-times-platinum “Let Me Love You” ft. Justin Bieber, the multi-platinum-selling DJ / producer has shattered industry records with smash hits such as “Taki Taki”, delivered era-defining records like “Turn Down for What” (with Lil Jon), earned over 80+ diamond single certifications and over 400+ platinum single certifications from the RIAA, amassed over 40B global streams, and made history as the first artist to perform atop the roof of the Arc de Triomphe.

Along with repeatedly turning out tracks that top the charts around the world – including three songs that have surpassed a staggering billion streams on Spotify – making him one of only two dance acts to have reached this milestone thus far – the multi-award-winning phenomenon brings his boundary-pushing ingenuity to music that builds unexpected and undeniably powerful bridges between vastly different cultures and genres.

ABOUT PESO PLUMA:

Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Peso Pluma is a trailblazing artist known for his unique style and genuine approach. With 59 million monthly Spotify listeners, he’s made history as the first Mexican artist to top the ‘Daily Top Artists Mexico’ chart. His album “GÉNESIS” broke streaming records, earning him his first GRAMMY® nomination and win for Best Música Mexicana Album in 2024. His collaborations with artists like Karol G, Anitta, Christian Nodal and more have further propelled him to international acclaim. Peso Pluma is not only a musical powerhouse but a cultural icon, with multiple awards and the launch of his own label, Double P Records, in partnership with George Prajin, he solidifies his impact on the industry.
