Aura V, 8, Reacts to Making Grammys History as Youngest Winner Ever
Aura V reached a pitch perfect milestone at the 2026 Grammys.
Indeed, she and dad Fyütch won Best Children’s Music Album as a father-daughter duo for Harmony at the Feb. 1 ceremony, making the 8-year-old the youngest individually named Grammy winner in history.
“It was fun,” Aura told reporters backstage at the Grammys of working on the album with her dad. “We got to spend time together. We get to go out to eat dinner. And we get to chill.”
For the young musician, making melodies seems to come easy. As Fyütch (born Harold Simmons II) noted of his little girl, “She enjoys the fun parts of making music.”
But that’s not all. As Aura V interjected, “And the food.”
In addition to her rhythmic capabilities, Aura is also in tune with her fashion sense. After all, when it came to choosing the perfect outfit for the Trevor Noah-hosted event, Aura knew what she wanted in a dress.
“I picked out this lavender color because it’s chill,” she explained. “It’s relaxing. It helps me settle in because if I wore any other color like red that would blend into the red carpet."
She added, “I got to stand out.”
At just 8 years old, Aura took the title for the youngest individually named Grammy winner from Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, who won a Grammy at age 9 for being a featured artist on “BROWN SKIN GIRL,” which won Best Music Video in 2021.
In their acceptance speech, Fyütch stressed the importance of music in children’s education.

“Children’s music is more than a genre,” he said. “It is an intention of artists who have dedicated our crafts to educating entreating and empowering the next generation—which is our highest calling.”
Meanwhile, Aura—with a hoist from her dad up to the mic—expressed her gratitude for the special milestone.
“I just want to say that it is an honor to be here today,” she said. “I was not expecting us to go this far.”
