Esteemed producer/musician Haywyre has been nominated for a 2021 GRAMMY® Award for Best Remixed Recording for “Young & Alive (Bazzi Vs. Haywyre Remix)”. The nomination comes on the heels of Haywyre’s recent high profile remixes of Charlie Puth and Martin Garrix.
To celebrate the nomination, Haywyre has released a mashup video of him performing a medley of some of his favorite 2021 Grammy nominations, including snippets of Harry Styles, Roddy Ricch, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat and Billie Eilish, all performed live in his studio! See the amazing clip below.
First coming to prominence in 2014 for his incendiary viral remix of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” – which has since amassed nearly 4 million plays on YouTube, Haywyre is now regarded as a leading figure in today’s dance music scene.
Haywyre is also celebrating his nomination in his inimitable way, by producing a series of video clips in which he live-performs short remixes of some of the other nominated songs. The first one, a flip of the Post Malone smash ‘Circles’, was featured on Trap Nation here, receiving over 100,000 views and over 5,000 likes in the first 24 hours.
A musical prodigy who released his first full album at the age of 16, Martin Vogt p.k.a. Haywyre was initially inspired by a variety of artists including Herbie Hancock, Flying Lotus, and KOAN Sound, while simultaneously drawing influence from such figures as 19th century Russian composer/pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff.
Haywyre’s eclectic vision and fluid dexterity as a pianist parallels effortlessly with his captivating take on contemporary dance music. In 2014, Martin made monumental leaps with his acclaimed “Two Fold, Pt.1” LP, which was inspired by Daoist philosophy and is notable for being the first full length artist album released by the iconic electronic label Monstercat.
A well versed keyboardist, and talk box pioneer, a live Haywyre set leaves no stone unturned. And, after earning the admiration and respect of some of the biggest acts in the industry, Haywyre has since been inked as nationwide tour support for the likes of Gramatik, Mat Zo, Zedd, and GRiZ.
