Aura V Becomes Youngest Grammy Winner at Age Eight

According to the source article, eight-year-old American singer Aura Valentina, professionally known as Aura V, has made history by becoming the youngest individually credited Grammy Award winner.

Aura V achieved the milestone at the 68th Grammy Awards, where she won the award for Best Children’s Music Album for Harmony. The project was released in collaboration with her father, Harold Simmons, who performs under the stage name Fyütch. The pair are credited as the duo FYÜTCH & Aura V.

The win places Aura V ahead of the previous record holder, Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who won her first Grammy at age nine in 2021. Blue Ivy was recognised for Best Music Video for her contribution to Brown Skin Girl, alongside Beyoncé, Wizkid, and Saint Jhn.

During the acceptance speech, Fyütch highlighted the broader role of children’s music, describing it as a tool for education, empowerment, and social responsibility. He emphasised the importance of investing in children’s wellbeing and development, linking the genre to advocacy and community values.

Aura V also briefly addressed the audience, offering congratulations to fellow Grammy winner Laufey after meeting her on the red carpet.

The historic win adds to ongoing discussions around youth representation in the music industry and the growing recognition of children’s music as a meaningful creative and cultural space.
