Victoria Monet fans who feared the singer-songwriter would suffer a shutout at the 2024 GRAMMYs breathed a heavy sigh of relief when the 34-year-old won her first trophy – Best Engineered Album for her 2023 LP ‘Jaguar II‘ – during the event’s pre-show.

Before 2024, only 18 acts in the GRAMMY’s 66-year history could boast owning at least 20 of its coveted golden gramophones. Among them, only one-fifth were Black men.
