Some of music’s biggest rising stars, such as GAYLE, YUNG GRAVY, JELEEL, Sinead Harnett, Natalie Jane, and more attended TikTok’s Pre-Grammy event. The 65th GRAMMY nominees are an incredibly talented group, and a remarkable number of them first won over our hearts and ears on TikTok before topping charts around the globe– this was a night to honor them and their momentous achievements. TikTok is so excited to see artists who started on the platform reach the highest echelons of the music industry.

The energy at the event was palpable as creators and members of the music industry came together to toast and celebrate. TikTok executives Ole Obermann, Global Head of Music, and Paul Hourican, Global Head of Music Operations provided remarks, adding to the energy of the already eager crowd. Also enjoying themselves among the party-goers and the many music industry partners from management teams and record labels who joined, were TikTok’s Global Lead of Music Partnerships, Isabel Quinteros, TikTok’s Director of US Music Partnerships, Marisa Jeffries, and Head of Music Partnerships & Content Operations Corey Sheridan, Head of Music Publishing Licensing Jordan Lowy, Head of Label Licensing Tracy Gardner and more!
