Written By Brendan Gieseke

Hello! It’s me, Brendan Gieseke, founder of Ongaku Magazine sharing my predictions for the upcoming 2027 Grammy Awards. The cycle for the 2025-2026 music is about to close in August with nominations being officially released in November 2026. I’ve selected each of my nomination predictions based on each song and artist’s likability within the industry, progression and narrative as an artist, the exploration of their songs, and cultural relevance. Please enjoy!
