The already dazzling lights of Los Angeles get even brighter on February 5th when the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards® raises the curtain at the old Staples Center in Downtown LA. As the music industry’s premier event, the GRAMMYs® are a high-note for the most talented professionals in the business and bring out the biggest names in music. And one the biggest in the game is the multi-platinum recording/mixing engineer and Auto-Tune Artist Patrizio “Teezio” Pigliapoco.

Coming off two GRAMMY® nominations in 2022, Teezio is back at the GRAMMYs® yet again. This time around he’s nominated for Chris Brown’s Breezy (Deluxe) and he also earned two participation nominations for his work with Jack Harlow.

We sat down with Teezio to learn more about his GRAMMYs® experience, how he uses Auto-Tune on vocalists, and why winning a GRAMMY® for Best R&B Album this year would be so rewarding.

“I feel like the GRAMMYs® are a huge boost—even if you lose and you just get nominated—it’s a huge boost for your career.”
