17 CD Baby Artists Nominated for the 2021 Latin Grammys

The independent artist’s flag has been planted on the Latin Grammys for some time now.

And year after year, artists without major labels guarantee their place in the biggest Latin music awards stage in the world.

These numbers are a clear reflection of the growing CD Baby artistic community around the world! And the proof that being independent does not mean being anonymous or limited.

Just last year, five CD Baby artists took home a trophy at the virtual ceremony!

And here at CD Baby we celebrate the Latin artists who chose us to be a part of their journey!

This year we congratulate 17 CD Baby artists nominated for a Latin Grammy across 11 different categories. A major victory for the entire independent community!

Join us in celebrating this year’s CD Baby Latin Grammy nominees!
