\n

Known for a combination of R&B and pop music, Victoria Monet was nominated in seven Grammy categories this year, including Record of the Year for her single \u2018On My Mama\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Monet became emotional as she thanked her mom, a single mother, as well as the visionaries who have noticed her throughout her career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI just wanna tell everyone who has a dream, I want you to look at this as an example,\u201d Monet said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Monet moved to Los Angeles in 2009 and called her award a 15-year pursuit. She compared herself to a plant and the music industry to soil that has provided her with nutrients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cToday I\u2019m sprouting,\u201d Monet said after accepting the award from the 2023 Best New Artist winner and jazz singer Samara Joy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From 16-time Grammy-winner Adele, who won the award in 2009 for \u2018Chasing Pavements<\/em>\u2018 to popular names like Dua Lipa, who won the Best New Artist award in 2019, the honour has been an early indicator of artists that will rise to the top ranks of the music industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Throughout Grammy history, the Best New Artist category has opened doors for a diversity of artists within various genres, including Megan Thee Stallion, Sam Smith, Meghan Trainor and other top names in the business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Monet is also known for teaming up with Ariana Grande on several projects, including co-writing the Grammy-nominated song, \u2018Thank u, next\u2019,<\/em> which was released in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Monet found her breakthrough with the release of \u2018Jaguar\u2019<\/em> in 2020, which blends elements of R&B, disco and funk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, it was \u2018Jaguar 11\u2019<\/em>, her 2023 debut studio album, that landed her on the top charts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Monet has worked with other big names like Nas, Blackpink, Travis Scott and more, including her fellow Best New Artist nominee, Coco Jones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
