The 63rd ceremony of presenting the most prestigious music awards, the Grammy Awards, established by the US Recording Academy, was held without spectators in a hybrid format, with artists performing on five stages located next to each other.

20-year-old Imanbek Zeikenov is a DJ and music producer from Kazakhstan. In 2019, he became world famous thanks to his remix of Saint Jhn's song "Roses", for which he received a 2021 Grammy Award.

Imanbek was born in Aksu, he learned to play the guitar when he was 8 years old. While studying at the railway college, he began working at the railway station in Aksu, but continued to engage in remixes since 2017. He remixed "Roses" previously released by Guyano-American rapper Saint Jhn through the Russian label Effective Records, which signed him. The remix was made without Saint Jhn's participation, as Imanbek Zeykenov's attempts to contact him on Instagram failed and he received no response.
