68th Grammy Awards<\/a> announced \u201cGolden\u201d earned nominations in four categories, including Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance, Best Song Written for Visual Media and Best Remixed Recording. The film’s soundtrack also earned a nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.<\/p>\nEJAE, who contributed to vocals, lyrics and composition for “Golden,” expressed her joy, saying the Grammy nominations were something beyond her dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t even have the adjectives to describe how I\u2019m feeling. This is beyond anything I ever imagined, being nominated for a Grammy,\u201d she wrote on Instagram on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The artist also delivered her gratitude to fans of \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d and fellow Korean American musicians Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna, who also sang on the track alongside her. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo say this was my dream is an understatement. This wouldn\u2019t be possible without the fans of the movie who have shown us so much support,\u201d EJAE said.<\/p>\n
EJAE\u2019s background makes this success deeply meaningful.
