Similar to the Oscars, the Grammys are the most respected award in the music industry which we grew up watching to foster our dreams as musicians.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We&#8217;re truly honored and happy about our very first nomination.
