Miami-based singer-songwriter Kēvens has achieved a significant milestone in his musical career with his album, ‘Call To Balance,’ being considered for two prestigious Grammy Award categories: Album of the Year and Best Global Album. Initially submitted for Best Reggae Album, the album’s unique fusion of dub, reggae, and dancehall has captured the attention of the Grammy Awards committee. Kēvens, a pioneer in blending reggae with electronic dance music (EDM), traces his musical roots back to South Florida’s vibrant underground scene in the 1990s. His innovative sound, first introduced at the 1998 Florida Zenfest, has evolved into a global phenomenon. ‘Call To Balance’ features socially conscious tracks like ‘Save Me’ and ‘Sonadores Legales,’ the latter being a Spanish rendition of ‘Legal Dreamers,’ marking his return to the music scene after a two-year hiatus. Influenced by Jamaican legends such as Yellowman, Super Cat, and Tenor Saw, Kēvens also collaborated with renowned musicians like Randy Bernsen and Charles Norkus, who mentored him in his early career. The nominees for the 68th Grammy Awards will be unveiled on November 7, with the ceremony set to take place on February 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
