New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Award-winning flutist and composer
Wouter Kellerman has been nominated for the prestigious 58th GRAMMY AWARDS for his album 'LOVE LANGUAGE' (https://www.lovelanguagemusic.com) in the BEST CONTEMPORARY INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM category. It was announced today by The Recording Academy. This is Kellerman's second nomination - he was nominated last year as well, and went on to win his first Grammy earlier this year.
'LOVE LANGUAGE' debuted at #1 on the Billboard World
Music Chart and continued to be in the Top 10 for the next 5 weeks. This masterful collaborative album by Kellerman also debuted at #1 on the ZMR World
Radio Charts and spent 10 weeks in the top 40 of the CMJ New World Charts. It has been a great year for Kellerman, as he performed sold out shows across the world, including at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC.
The boundary-breaking Contemporary Instrumental album 'LOVE LANGUAGE' is Kellerman's fourth release. Drawing influence from Senegal and Spain, Cuba and India, Greece and the United States, Love Language encapsulates the myriad ways we connect on the topics of life and love — and the countless languages with which we speak of the universal connection that binds us to one another.
"The theme of being loving joins us all together," says Kellerman, "and music bridges all cultural gaps, becoming a universal language that communicates across seemingly insurmountable barriers. Some people show love by giving presents or by complimenting someone, spending time or by touch", he continues. "My love language is music," he says with a smile.
On being nominated,
Wouter Kellerman said: "I am simply overwhelmed by this nomination! It is extremely heartening to know that all our hard work is being recognized. This album has truly transcended borders and cultural barriers and I hope the positive energy created will help effect positive change in the world. I feel very privileged to be in such good company and wish my fellow nominees all the very best".
Wouter Kellerman will grace the red carpet at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday February 15th, 2016 for the evening billed as Music's Biggest Night®. The broadcast will commence on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
