Critically acclaimed and multi-platinum selling music producer Andrew Watt took home the Grammy award for Best Rock Album tonight at the 64th annual Grammy Awards for his work on legendary rock icon Ozzy Osbourne’s highly praised 2022 release, Patient #9. This marks the second Grammy win for the in-demand hit-maker, who also took home 2021s Producer of the Year award for his work with artists including Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, Ozzy Osbourne and Post Malone. Osbourne’s chart-topping Patient #9, which includes collaborations with Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi and the late Jeff Beck, also scored a Grammy win for “Best Metal Performance” for the Watt produced track “Degradation Rules” featuring Tony Iommi. Watt accepted both awards this evening on behalf of Osbourne with Metallica’s Robert Trujillo.
2022 has been Watt’s strongest year yet as one of the music industry’s most sought after hit-makers. After producing the entirety of Eddie Vedder’s solo release Earthling in February of 2022, he landed two genre-bending hits on the Hot 100 in The Kid LAROI’s “Thousand Miles” and Ed Sheeran and Lil Baby’s “2step.” A co-writer and co-producer on both, the former debuted at No. 15, while the latter is a remixed version of the track that appeared on Sheeran’s 2021 full-length, =. Watt was also credited as a co-produced and co-writer on “Wrapped Around Your Finger” from Post Malone’s latest album “Twelve Carat Toothache,” and he co-wrote and produced the incredibly well received collaboration from Britney Spears and Elton John, ”Hold Me Closer.” Most recently, Watt producedEvery Loser, the long-awaited new album from the legendary Iggy Pop, which released this past January via an exclusive partnership between Atlantic Records and the Watt’s new label imprint Gold Tooth Records.
