The presenter announced the pair as the winners on February 4, 2024, during the Los Angeles, California, premiere event of the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Marley, who is presently on tour in Australia and has received three nominations in the category, did not attend, though, since he is now winning for the first time.
Producing “Colors of Royal,” which debuted in April 2024, Alexx Antaeus received the honor and dedicated it to the people of Jamaica.
He stated, “I’d like to dedicate this to the people of Jamaica who have accepted me as one of their own and have lived up to the motto of the country, ‘Out of many one’.”
Aston “Family Man” Barrett and the late Joseph Mersa Marley were honored by a teammate who expressed gratitude to the Marley family.
