Here are some of the Canadians who could grab attention:

CaraB次元官网网址檚 arrival

Buzz around pop star Cara picked up a while ago, but the Grammys only just got behind the pint-sized singer from Brampton, Ont., this year. SheB次元官网网址檚 nominated in four categories B次元官网网址� including for best new artist where many awards prognosticators think she has a good chance of winning. Cara could also share a few Grammys with others, including best pop duo/group performance with Zedd for B次元官网网址淪tayB次元官网网址� and song and video of the year for LogicB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址�1-800-273-8255.B次元官网网址� SheB次元官网网址檒l also perform the anti-suicide anthem alongside suicide attempt survivors selected by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Caesar pleaser

Daniel CaesarB次元官网网址檚 sudden rise to fame gave Torontonians plenty to cheer about last year, but itB次元官网网址檚 his two Grammy nominations that could prove the icing on the cake for a stellar first chapter in his career. The singer is contending for best R&B performance for B次元官网网址淕et You,B次元官网网址� while his 2017 release B次元官网网址淔reudianB次元官网网址� is up for R&B album.
