Get to know Kaytranada, who just won two Grammys for best dance recording and best dance/electronic album

“It’s kind of funny because I’ve been making music for a while,” Celestin said of the best new artist nomination. “But it’s still great to have this recognition.”

[L.A.] inspires me constantly, and a lot of things happen that make me feel more important than in Montreal. Here is L.A., they really respect me as Kaytranada. People are stoked to work with you, people are more into what you’re trying to do. For me, being at home by myself and making beats — I don’t really get feedback constantly. When I’m in L.A., in the studio… it’s an easier thing for me, because I don’t have to overthink. I just have to see what the artist thinks.

I definitely did the dance/electronic influence, but from the ground up, the genre is really hip-hop. In every genre that I’m trying to do, I’m definitely going to add my influence from hip-hop and making beats to it, to every creation I’m making. So maybe the next project, I might just go back to it and just make it more hip-hop, but we’ll just see how it goes. At this point I don’t think about genres like that. Especially with the next record, I’m not going to even think about genres.

A lot of rappers just gave me the idea of just doing collaborative projects with me producing their whole EP or album. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, so this is what I’m looking forward to most.This little tour I did in Australia [in January 2020] — it was eye opening. It made me look forward to going on tour definitely in the U.S., but it didn’t happen. That’s what I’m looking forward to: to go on tour, just party again; after partying, just DJing across the world.
