Andy Dosty Confronts DJ At Grammy Nominee Brunch For Not Playing Ghanaian Songs
Hitz FM presenter and DJ Andy Dosty put on his patriotic cloak during his visit to Los Angeles for the Grammy nominee jam preceding the 65th Grammys as he confronted the DJ of the day about why he wasn’t playing Ghanaian songs.
He therefore made his way towards the DJ to express his disappointment at the absence of Ghanaian songs in the playlist, which was predominantly filled with Nigerian tracks.
In a video shared by Andy Dosty himself, he could be seen fully immersed in the music, nodding his head in sync with the rhythm. However, his enthusiasm was dampened by the lack of representation of Ghanaian music.
Determined to address this apparent bias, he informed his friends of his intention to approach the DJ.
Much to Andy Dosty’s surprise, the DJ who had been entertaining the crowd with Nigerian songs had departed before his arrival.
Nevertheless, DJ Juls Baby, a British DJ of Ghanaian descent, stepped in and raised the bar by playing captivating Ghanaian tunes. This remarkable performance by DJ Juls Baby greatly impressed Andy Dosty, leading to a delightful exchange of warm pleasantries between the two.
Throughout the final week of January, Downtown Los Angeles and West Hollywood were filled with a week-long series of celebrations and honorary events leading up to the 66th Grammy Awards on February 4th.
On February 1st, Spotify hosted its annual Best New Artist party, which recognized the 2024 Grammy nominees in the general category. Among the nominees were Gracie Abrams, Fred Again, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan, Victoria Monét, and The War and Treaty.
Victoria Monét, who has received a remarkable seven nominations, is one of the most recognized acts of the evening. She has been a hidden gem behind the scenes, writing hits for artists like Ariana Grande and Chloe x Halle, earning Grammy nominations for those songs as well.
In total, Monét has received 10 nominations. On the same day, Variety’s Grammys Cover Party also paid tribute to Monét.
MusiCares also organized its Person of the Year event on February 2nd, honoring Jon Bon Jovi for his musical accomplishments and philanthropic endeavors, including his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation.
All of these events build up to the highly anticipated Grammys ceremony on February 4th at 8:00 p.m. PT. The ceremony will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network and can be streamed live and on-demand on Paramount+.
