An 8-year-old girl from Maryland, Aura V., and her father, known as Fyütch, have achieved an incredible milestone by creating an album that radiates joy and positivity. Their collaborative work, titled LPHarmony, has earned them a Grammy Award for Best Children’s Music Album, making Aura the youngest Grammy winner in history, surpassing Blue Ivy, who won at the age of 9.
During her heartfelt acceptance speech broadcasted nationwide, Aura expressed her surprise and gratitude, saying, “It is an honor to be here today. I was not expecting us to go this far.” Their musical journey is deeply rooted in family history; Aura’s great-grandfather played the trumpet in the Army band, and her grandfather contributed saxophone talents to the album.
Fyütch’s passion for music began in his teenage years when he joined a band. After completing college, he worked as an arts teacher but soon became frustrated by the lack of educational music available for his students. This challenge sparked his creativity, leading to the duo’s viral success on platforms like YouTube. “I just started making stuff and putting it up on YouTube and showing it in my classes,” he shared. “I didn’t realize there was such a need. Teachers were searching for content like that.”
As Fyütch embraced fatherhood, Aura began attending his performances and eventually joined him on stage. Their first collaboration came when Aura was just 4 years old, with a delightful song titled “I Am a Cool.” Together, they crafted the Harmony LP, featuring uplifting tracks such as “I Am Love,” “I Am Light,” and “My Daddy,” ultimately leading them to Grammy glory.
In one of the album’s tracks, Fyütch reflects, “In 2017, she burst on the scene. When I held you in my arms, my firstborn, my whole world. I don’t care how old you get, you still daddy’s girl…” The songs on the album resonate with themes of empowerment and positivity, perfectly capturing the duo’s harmonious relationship and offering a hopeful message during challenging times.
“Now more than ever, we need positive vibes in our music, in our culture, in our media,” Fyütch emphasized in an interview. “I see the purpose in it, and the beautiful part is that we get to do it together.” This sentiment of love and unity is beautifully woven throughout the Harmony album, especially in the title track. After a few joyful choruses featuring both dad and daughter, Aura takes center stage.
The lyrics present an inspiring vision for the future, and now Aura can sing them with the confidence that comes from being the youngest Grammy winner of all time. “Peace, positivity, love, and empathy. This is the recipe for life in harmony… Can you imagine what this place would be when our differences work collectively?”
