Snatam Kaur Khalsa
For: New Age Album, Beloved
Decades after she would constantly vie for a spot on the Grammy Awards winners' list, Snatam Kaur Khalsa said she had resigned herself from the attempt, years ago. "I had wanted it at the start of my career since I thought it would help get my music out [to listeners]. But we didn't get it year after year.

I wasn't seeking this nomination. This time, I think it was God's will." Khalsa, known for her new-age Indian devotional music, has won a nomination for her latest album, Beloved, which claims to gift its listeners 'total peace within yourself'.
