Alejandro Sanz

Alejandro Sanz has such a captivating voice and we are thrilled to see him nominated this year in multiple categories, including Album of the Year (Sirope) and Record of the Year ("Un Zombie a la Intemperie").

"Un Zombie a la Intemperie," which we featured on April's list of Our Top 5 Latin Songs of the Moment, is also nominated for Song of the Year.

Natalia Jiménez

We love Natalia! But you probably already know that if you've been following this blog.

Creo En Mí is nominated for Album of the Year and it is absolutely an Album We Love! In fact, we could probably listen to it all day!

Each song on Creo En Mí is perfectly crafted and filled with genuine emotion. We're addicted to the sunny and upbeat "Algo Brilla En Mí," which we included on April's list of our Top 5 Latin Songs of the Moment, as well as the gorgeous ballad "Tu y Yo," featured on June's list of Our Top 5 Latin Songs of the Moment.

Ranchera-inspired "Quédate Con Ella" is nominated for Song of the Year.

Pablo Alborán

It's hard to believe that Spain's Pablo Alborán is only 26-years-old. There's a certain wisdom that he conveys in his songs that is way beyond his years and completely enchanting.

Terral is his third studio album and is nominated this year for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album. "Por Fin," the album's lead single, is nominated for Song of the Year.

We especially love "Pasos de Cero." See it featured on March's list of Our Top 5 Latin Songs of the Moment.

J Balvin

J Balvin is a fighter. He is resilient and he is ON FIRE. The Colombian reggaetonero has a bright future ahead of him and we can't wait to hear what kind of mega hit he'll hit us with next.

"Ay Vamos," his single included on La Familia B Sides, made the whole world take notice. It reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart in March, while the accompanying music video has acquired over half a billion views on YouTube to date. "Ay Vamos" is nominated for Best Urban Performance and Best Urban Song.

In October, Balvin performed his most recent hit, "Ginza," on NBC's TODAY Show as part of their series VIVA Today in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.

ChocQuibTown

The Grammy-nominated, Latin Grammy-winning trio was founded in Quibdó, Colombia, and made their debut in 2006, bringing their eclectic style to the world.

Produced by Andres Castro (Carlos Vives, Prince Royce), their album El Mismo is nominated for Best Tropical Fusion Album.

The hip, laid back single "Cuando Te Veo" was also released as a remix with Nicky Jam. See it featured on May's list of Our Top 5 Latin Songs of the Moment.
