Amid this, Indian artiste Ricky Kej once again made the country proud. He has been nominated for his album ‘Break of Dawn’ in the Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album category. Kej, who has previously won three Grammy awards, told ANI, “I’ve already won three Grammy Awards in the past, and this is my fourth nomination, which I hope will lead to my fourth win. So Break of Dawn is a new age album. It’s based on ancient Indian rags. Each and every one of the nine songs of Break of Dawn has been based on an ancient Indian rag. It’s been crafted very, very carefully by me to promote mental health and wellness and it’s focused on India-rooted wellness music…I’m very grateful for this honour of receiving my fourth Grammy nomination.”
