Electronic music outfit Nero have been going from strength to strength in recent years, and now they've reached another milestone - winning their first ever Grammy award!
The three-piece, Joseph Ray, Dan Stephens, and Alana Watson, won the prestigious award for Best Remixed Recording, Non Classical for theirs and Skrillex’s remix of ‘Promises’. The remix, released last year, is out on MTA Records in the UK and Interscope in the US.
“It feels amazing to have won our first Grammy,” said Nero on their win. “‘Promises’ has been a huge record for us, and it’s incredible to have it recognized with a Grammy. We’ve been close friends with Skrillex for a long-time, he’s a singular talent. It was great to work together to combine the Nero and Skrillex sounds and make a unique remix that really connected with fans.”
The Skrillex and Nero remix of ‘Promises’ was released on the US deluxe repackage of Nero’s debut album ‘Welcome Reality’. They’ve had a storming few years – they were the only British dance act to have a #1 album in 2011, and were also nominated for Best New Act at the Q Awards in 2011.
