Folk singer Allison Russell and rapper Drake head to the Grammy Awards today as two of the leading Canadian contenders.
They hold four nominations each with Montreal’s Russell vying for the awards with her album “The Returner,” while Drake competes with his record “Her Loss,” made in partnership with Atlanta rapper 21 Savage.
Surpassing them is Serban Ghenea, the Romania-born, Canada-raised pop wizard known for mixing albums for the stars, who among this year’s nominees include Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift.
