The album, created by American artist MattB and featuring the illustrious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, clinched the Grammy for Best Global Music Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 2.

Speaking about the recognition, he says it is an affirmation of years of hard work, passion, and perseverance.

"Being recognised as a contributing composer on a Grammy-winning album means that all I was doing all those years has paid off," he said. "Professionally, it elevates my artistry and gives my name and work more clout."

The road to this milestone began during his high school years, where a talent show performance of Summertime by Shaggy marked the inception of his musical journey.
