Victoria Monét wins best new artist
Victoria Monét won the Grammy for best new artist.
During her acceptance speech, the "On My Mama" singer thanked her mom and talked about her journey in the music industry.
"Thank you to my mom, a single mom raising this really bad girl," she said. "I just want to say to everybody who has a dream, I want you to look at this as an example. Thank you, God. "
"I feel like today I am sprouting, finally above ground," she added, comparing her journey to a plant, with roots growing underground previously. "I would like to thank my team of visionaries who could see through that soil."
