Grammys 2025: Chandrika Tandon, Wouter Kellerman, Eru Matsumoto win
What's the story
Indian-American philanthropist Chandrika Tandon won her first Grammy at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (US time) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
She, along with Wouter Kellerman and Eru Matsumoto, received the Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album award for their collaborative album Triveni.
Tandon attended the event in a silk salwar suit, accessorized with her signature necklaces, paying homage to her Indian heritage.
Victory details
Tandon, Kellerman, Matsumoto triumphed over strong competition
The award-winning trio had stiff competition in their category from renowned artists such as Radhika Vekaria (Warriors of Light), three-time Grammy-winner Ricky Kej (Break of Dawn), Ryuichi Sakamoto (Opus), and sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar (Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn).
This isn't Tandon's first Grammy nomination—she was previously nominated in 2011 for Soul Call in the Contemporary World Music category but did not win.
Artist's statement
'We hope this music will help everyone reach...'
Meanwhile, Tandon expressed her gratitude for the support they received, adding that their success is due to many.
Speaking about the album's significance in a statement to PRNewswire, she said, "The mantras on this album represent vibrations of protection and inner healing that resonate deeply on multiple energetic frequencies."
Further, she added, "We hope this music will help everyone reach into their inner well of abundance, so we can all radiate Love Light Laughter."
