Grammy winner

Music industry laureate

A Grammy winner is a recipient of a Grammy Award, the American recording industry's highest honor for musical achievement.

The term often appears as an honorific prefix: Grammy winner Beyoncé, three-time Grammy winner.

Being a Grammy winner carries prestige in the music world, though the awards themselves sometimes generate controversy over snubs and category choices.
