Last week, The Recording Academy has officially revealed the nominations for the 2024 GRAMMYs, which will take place Sunday, Feb. 4, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Among the list is also Romanian born Canadian Serban Ghenea, 45-time Grammy-nominated.

This year, Ghenea continues to showcase his mastery with an impressive seven additional Grammy nominations. Notably, he secures three nominations in the Record of the Year category, with Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire,” and Jon Batiste’s “Worship.” Additionally, he boasts two nods for Album of the Year (Rodrigo’s Guts and Swift’s Midnights), along with a double nomination for Best Pop Dance Recording, encompassing David Guetta’s “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” and Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s “One in a Million.”

For these new nominations, The Rolling Stone magazine dedicated an article to the Romanian artist, titled “Why Is This Engineer-Mixer Among the Top 2024 Grammy Nominees?”, available here.

“His first win was for Justin Timberlake’s Justified at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004, and he’s since gone on to mix every Swift record, beginning with 2012’s Red and including her four rerecordings (with the exception of 2020’s Evermore)”, notes the magazine.

In 1996, Serban Ghenea achieved his first chart-topping success with the multi-platinum hit “No Diggity” by Blackstreet, collaborating with producer Teddy Riley, marking the commencement of his music career. Over the ensuing quarter-century, Ghenea has evolved into the preeminent mixer for a diverse array of artists, as portrayed by Variety magazine in November 2021.

According to his website, Serban Ghenea is an nineteen-time GRAMMY Award and three-time Latin GRAMMY Award winning mix engineer. He has mixed songs for such artists as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Bjork, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Jewel, Santana, Ozomatli, Shakira, Jill Scott, Floetry, Musiq Soulchild, Taio Cruz, Rod Stewart, Dave Matthews Band, The All American Rejects, One Republic, and Beck. As of November 2023, Serban had mixed over 224 No. 1 singles and albums, – including hits for Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Britney Spears, Black Eyes Peas, The Fray, Train, Lifehouse, Weezer, The Hives, Maroon 5, Avril Lavigne, Gavin Degraw, P!nk, Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Keith Urban.
