Wow! Dreams do come true! Congratulations to SYWA Nashville's very own Sylkie Monoff on her Official Grammy® Nomination Certificate for singing Backing Vocals on "The Fury" last year (Antonio Vergara's Grammy® Award-nominated album in the "Best Contemporary Blues Album" category in 2024/25). We're so proud of Sylkie's achievements! Her message is: "Keep giving Thanks to the Universe and Never give up believing. Always listen to the whispers of the heart. When manifestations happen, it feels mighty good!" We can't wait to get this baby framed for her. Pinch us!
