This weekend marked the 60th Annual Grammy Awards! I am so excited that the Grammys were held in NYC after 15 years of being in Los Angeles!  I was fortunate enough to hit a few pre-Grammy parties on Saturday.

This weekend I attended The Soiree Gala at BB Kings & a private pre-Grammy party at the W Hotel.  

The Soiree Gala

At the Soiree Gala, I saw a few performances and met a few of the artists one of which, Kay Morris, was a "Considered Grammy Nominee" performing that night!  In fact, I guess I played the part so well, that she asked me to take a selfie with her and thought I was also performing that night.

W Hotel

Next stop was the W Hotel in Times Square for a private party where Lexy Panterra  performed a few song.  I will be honest, I did not know too much about Lexy prior to  Saturday night, but she had a great voice!

Sadly I did not make it to Clive Davis' or Diddy's Parties, but I had a great time.  Cant wait until next Grammy Week, I hope the Recording Academy brings the Grammys back to NYC soon! 

Why do I love the Grammys so much?  Well, I actually I have quite the ties with music... 

Here are some fun facts about my ties to the music and the industry (in semi chronological order):

1. I can play the piano, clarinet & recorder
2. I was very involved with "street teams" when I was in HS, in fact I was VP of the Greg Raposo (formerly of Dream Street) Street Team and NY State Leader of the Stevie Brock Street Team.
3. I interned at a Warner Music for 1.5 years in college (2 semesters on the label side & 1 semester in corporate). I had the pleasure of interning with Liz Rosenberg during my time at WBR. 
4. I LOVE going to concerts  

Congratulations to all of the Grammy nominees and winners! 

Big shoutouts to Bruno Mars & Jay-Z on your big wins!
