USA Songwriting Competition winners Fyütch and Aura V, an 8-year-old singer won their first Grammy award in 2026 and also made history.
The father-daughter duo took home the Grammy for best children's music album for "Harmony." They accepted the honor during the premiere ceremony, held before the Grammys' telecast.
Both dressed in matching Pink, Fyütch thanked God and spoke about the importance of educating and entertaining the young, as well as empowering children. He also called the album an act of activism and self-love.
"It's an honor to win, we weren’t expecting to get this far" said the eight year old Aura V.
Fyütch & Aura V won the 2025 USA Songwriting Competition in the Children's music category.
At 8 years old, Aura V is the youngest individually credited Grammy winner.
