Tanzanian Bongo Flava star Harmonize has declared that he is setting his sights on the Grammys, vowing to do whatever it takes to ensure his name is on the winners’ list in the next edition of the prestigious US Recording Academy awards.
In a post shared on his Instagram on Monday, February 3, 2025, Harmonize acknowledged that the journey to such a milestone is never easy and that the process could take time. However, he expressed unwavering confidence that his moment will come, no matter how long it takes.
He likened this delay to Chris Brown’s situation, pointing out that many believed the R&B superstar should have won a Grammy years ago but were now criticizing him because he finally secured one.
“We see them winning every day, funny how they get mad when bad boys win last. Like Brizzy, bb,” Harmonize shared.
The artist went on to question why fellow celebrities were throwing shade at Chris Brown when, to him, the last to win is always the newest and freshest champion.
“The last winner is the newest winner. If people delay you, know that God is fast-tracking you somewhere greater. Coming for the Grammy—save this,” he declared.
Harmonize’s Grammy aspirations
In a separate post, the Konde Gang record label founder congratulated Chris Brown, saying nothing makes him happier than seeing the singer claim a well-deserved win.
Tagging Brown in the post, Harmonize revealed that the R&B star is a major source of inspiration for him, fueling his own drive to one day become a Grammy winner.
“Last Grammy before they nominate Konde Boy. I love to see Chris Brown winning. Queen B and Jay-Z—it’s a moment I’m waiting for in life. I know Furaha will do that. Save this,” the artist shared.
Harmonize was referring to Brown’s Grammy-winning album 11:11 (Deluxe), which earned him Best R&B Album at the 67th Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025.
This marked Brown’s second Grammy win, coming years after he received his first nomination at the 49th Grammy Awards, including a nod for Best New Artist.
His latest victory came in a highly competitive category, going up against Usher’s Coming Home, Lalah Hathaway’s Vantablack, Muni Long’s Revenge, and Lucky Daye’s Algorithm.
The win arrived 13 years after his first Grammy.
Brown was among 90 artists who walked away with trophies at the star-studded event held in Los Angeles.
The night saw some of the biggest names in music cement their legacies with major wins.
Beyoncé finally secured the coveted Album of the Year award for her genre-blending masterpiece Cowboy Carter, marking her first win in the category after four previous nominations. Kendrick Lamar’s hard-hitting anthem Not Like Us was crowned Record of the Year, further solidifying his dominance in the rap game.
Rising rap star Doechii made waves after winning Best Rap Album for ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal‘, a career-defining moment that showcased her growing influence in the genre.
Meanwhile, Daniel Nigro took home the Producer of the Year award, a testament to his brilliance in shaping contemporary music.
