Tommie Green, coming off his fifth mixtape, ‘History of Art’ has just dropped a very inspirational produced by his very own multimedia entertainment company, Whitewood Entertainment.

According to Wikipedia, the Grammy Award is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. What no one knows, and a lot of people are asking is “Who decides who gets the award?”

Unlike many other awards, the people do NOT get to vote for who gets a Grammy award. It is done by the National Academy of Recording Arts through a four round elimination process.

Sonny Moore a.k.a Skrillex, is now a three-time grammy winner and award holder after being nominated for 5. Beating out some of the worlds best DJ’s such as DeadMau5 and David Guetta, Skrillex took home ‘Best Dance Recording’ for Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, and ‘Best Remix Recording – Non Classical’ for his work on Benny Benassi’s ‘Cinema.’ His third and most shocking award was in the category of Best Dance/Electronica Album.

Skrillex seems to divide opinion among electronic music makers (and listeners, for that matter), but with three Grammy Awards now in his pocket, someone must think that he’s doing something right… right?

Skrillex is undoubtably a very talented musical artist and knows how to please his fans. However, many people are arguing that Skrillex should NOT have won three Grammy awards. This has been very debatable the past couple of days since the Grammy awards aired on TV Sunday night.

After discussing this topic with several other electronic music advocates, I am assured that I am not the only one who feels this way. Skrillex has produced some sick tracks that many people love to jam out to, although I personally would have preferred to see Pretty Lights, a.k.a Derek Vincent Smith, up there for all of his accomplishments with Pretty Lights Recording Label. Not to mention Pretty Lights has produced a few of the best remixes I have ever heard with the most original beats.

Beginning his solo musical career just 5 years ago in 2007, and being named MTV’s EDM artist of the year in December, 2011, Sonny Moore has walked away with three Grammy awards after being nominated for five. Congratulations Skrillex, you got lucky.
