Revered artist, producer & percussionist Anderson .Paak has added two more GRAMMY Awards to his now growing collection. The wins come for Best R&B Album for Ventura and for Best R&B Performance for "Come Home" ft. Andre 3000. This is the second year in a row that he's received a GRAMMY having won last year for Best Rap Performance for his song "Bubblin".

The win officially bookends the biggest and most prolific year of the Los Angeles artist's career releasing two charting albums- Oxnard (debuted at #11 on the Billboard Top 200) and Ventura (debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200) both via Aftermath Entertainment, exclusively distributed by 12 Tone Music, LLC. The Oxnard campaign saw his first Saturday Night Live appearance and additional musical performances and couch spots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CBS This Morning and The Daily Show. The album was executive produced by Dr. Dre and features the likes of hip-hop legends Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, J. Cole, Q-Tip, and Pusha T.

Ventura featured Smokey Robinson, André 3000, Jazmine Sullivan, Brandy, Nate Dogg, Lalah Hathaway, and Sonyae Elise and saw appearances on Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Price is Right and more. His song "Make It Better" ft. Smokey Robinson was his first #1 song at Urban AC Radio (Mediabase). His subsequent Best Teef in the Game tour completely sold out and included his first Madison Square Garden and The Forum headline shows and 24 other stops across the US and Canada.

It was a great year for his philanthropic endeavors as with .Paak House - The Brandon Anderson Foundation - throwing their third .Paak House in the Park event. Hosted by Seth Rogan, Anthony Anderson and Anderson .Paak with performances from Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, The Game, YBN Cordae and more to support safe-havens for the next generation, while cultivating alliances with like-minded non-profit organizations to generate a greater impact.

"It's no secret that Anderson .Paak is one of the best entertainers we've got right now..." - NPR

"The springy bass line and jazzy chords reach back to the analog exuberance of 1970s Stevie Wonder, and like Wonder, Anderson .Paak fuses an optimistic sound with a spirit of determined resistance" -THE NEW YORK TIMES

".Paak's skill set is substantial - drummer, writer, producer, rapper, singer - and it's a sign of the 33-year-old's standing that the likes of Dre, Pharrell, Brandy, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Snoop, Q-Tip, and J. Cole all made time for the Oxnard/Ventura sessions" - ROLLING STONE

"Make It Better" is smooth and heart wrenching" - BILLBOARD
