The Grammy Awards recognize the dedication and efforts of artists over their extensive careers. However, there are moments when fresh talents step into the limelight, achieving significant music milestones at an early age.

At the Grammys, age isn’t a barrier for achieving recognition; some artists have received nominations or won awards during their debut year in the industry.

As we approach the 67th Grammy Awards, let’s revisit some of the youngest recipients of this prestigious award and their remarkable accomplishments.

Who holds the title for youngest Grammy winner?

LeAnn Rimes is renowned for being the youngest individual to win a Grammy Award. At the age of just 14, she secured two Grammys at the 39th awards in 1997, earning honors for best new artist and best female country vocal performance. Additionally, she is the youngest winner in the best new artist category.

The record for the youngest group winners goes to the Peasall Sisters, a country trio who received their award at the 44th ceremony in 2002. They contributed to the Grammy-winning soundtrack of the film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” At that time, Leah, the youngest sister, was only 8 years old, while Hannah was 11, and Sarah was 14.
