Jowy Landa Heartbroken After Grammy Submission Rejected
Ugandan singer Jowy Landa has drawn attention after revealing that her music, submitted for consideration for the 2026 Grammy Awards, did not make it past the first screening stage.
She shared: “Still wondering why my submissions did not pass through for Grammy awards.”
Fans understood this to mean that her entries were rejected during the initial vetting, rather than that she had been officially nominated.
Artists from around the world can submit their work, but the Recording Academy screens thousands of submissions before they reach the official ballot. Many entries do not make it through.
Her honesty has earned widespread support online, with fans praising her ambition and encouraging her to continue aiming for international recognition.
Despite the setback, this moment highlights the growing determination of Ugandan musicians to make their mark on the global stage.
