Two Durham natives competed for Best Children's Music Album Grammy
Two Durham musicians were recognized for their contributions to children's music at the 2022 Grammy awards.
Durham native Pierce Freelon's album Black To The Future was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Children's Music Album.
Freelon is an Emmy-award winning producer, director and professor who teaches at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Durham singer Rissi Palmer contributed to two of the albums facing off against Freelon. Palmer appears on 123 Andrés' album Actívate and 1 Tribe Collective's All One Tribe.
Palmer also appeared on Freelon's first children's album, D.a.D., released last year. The two wrote and recorded "My Body," a filled song that addresses consent and body autonomy.
The Grammy Awards were held Sunday night.
The artist Falu ended up taking home the Grammy award for her album, A Colorful World.
