Remember Zayed Hassan, the winner of the Stagelight Monthly Music Contest from last year? Well if you don't, now is the time notice this young talent who is already starting to leave his mark on the scene. Zayed recently sang alongside the band Linkin Park at the Redbull Studio in Los Angeles. The young composer is now on his way to the Grammys.
Zayed Hassan is not going there with the help of some sponsors, neither is he going there an audience. He will attend the award ceremony as a participant because he submitted his songs for a competition and it was selected! The 59th Grammy Awards will be held on February 1, 2017. When the organisers called for the start of the coming year's Grammy Awards submission process, Zayed went forward and submitted six tracks.
In the first phase (first ballot) five thousand out of seven thousand tracks from the nomination race were picked. So far, five of Zayed's six tracks had been selected. The final nominations for the 59th Grammy Awards was revealed yesterday, Zayed didn't make the final list unfortunately.
However, even before the final selection of tracks took place, the Grammy Awards organisers sent out a special invitation for Zayed.
The song “Sailing Through The Clouds” have been well received by the board members of the committee.
The composer said: “I submitted for nomination, But I think, this clause will not win a that award. Rather it will stir up some appreciation of the work. I believe, it cannot reach the ultimate goal. However, I am optimistic. It's just the beginning. By 2026 Grammy Awards will come to our country.”
“Everyone would say, the world's most prestigious music award, is the Grammy, it is the dream stage for every musician,” he added.
