Gitty’s 2024 GRAMMY® nominations are his fifth turn at the Awards. His production on H.E.R.’s 2021 album Back of My Mind and previous single “Damage” landed him two GRAMMY nominations including “Album of the Year.” He garnered his first nomination in the prestigious category for his contribution on H.E.R.’s 2020 album I Used To Know Her.

Currently sitting at #10 on Billboard Hot 100 Producers chart and R&B Producers chart for his production on Monét’s “On My Mama” as well as #7 on the Country Producers chart for Jessie Murph featuring Jelly Roll “Wild Ones,” Gitty’s studio talents currently can be heard across tracks like Mary J.

Shares Gitty on “On My Mama,” “It’s an honor to be nominated in one of the most prestigious categories for a song that, in my opinion, not only has a lot of musical integrity, but exhibits a very positive and liberating message for its listeners.”
