Several Canadians could leave the Grammy Awards with an armful of trophies on Sunday, but most of them aren't household names.
While Bryan Adams, Drake and Michael Buble are all contenders this year, many of the other homegrown nominees on the leaderboard are professionals behind the scenes who added pop and fizz to some of last year's biggest records.
They include Winnipeg-born mixer Jesse Ray Ernster whose work on Doja Cat's “Woman” is up for record of the year, and Bragg Creek, Alta.-raised music engineer Shawn Everett who contributed to Adele's “30,” among the album of the year contenders. There's also North Vancouver's Tobias Jesso Jr., a musician who found success writing songs for others, including Adele and Harry Styles who together earned him three nods, including one for songwriter of the year.
Adele also proved a good-luck charm for visual maestro Xavier Dolan, the acclaimed Montreal filmmaker who directed “Easy on Me,” which cradles a best music video nomination. Most of the 91 Grammy categories will be awarded Sunday at an industry ceremony before the broadcast. The premiere ceremony, as it's called, streams live on the Grammys website hosted by U.S. comedian Randy Rainbow, who's up for best comedy album. The 65th Grammy Awards air on Citytv and CBS.Audio engineer and mixer Serban Ghenea isn't as recognizable as the pop stars he helps sound their best, but you've probably heard some of his work.
