Riverside resident and internationally acclaimed spoken word poet Ty Scott King is among this year’s Grammy nominees.
The nomination is in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category for “The Fury,” an album by Antonio Vergara. The album features “The Rebel’s Right,” a collaborative track King created with Vergara.
“Being a part of this project, led by Antonio Vergara, has been an immense honor,” King said. “Now, after achieving a nomination in this edition of the GRAMMY, we’re aiming even higher.”
King has lived in Jacksonville since 2023 and has been hailed as “the Maya Angelou of this generation.” She’s a two-time bestselling author and has twice been in the running for a Grammy in the Best Spoken Word Poetry Album category for her albums “Come Sunday” and “In All Things.”
The Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, Feb. 2 in Los Angeles.
