Before Chappell Roan, Doechii and Sabrina Carpenter were 2025 Grammy award winners, they were Tiny Desk performers.
NPR Music’s Tiny Desk continues to be a major platform for music discovery and celebration. At the 67th annual Grammy Awards, over two dozen Tiny Desk alums took home wins in their respective categories.
Chappell Roan beat out her fellow nominees in the Best New Artist category. Doechii received her first Grammy win for best rap album for Alligator Bites Never Heal. Sabrina Carpenter won best pop vocal album and best pop solo performance.
Chappell Roan didn’t just leave her wig at the Tiny Desk, she left her mark.
NPR Music has a knack for curation and always seeks to highlight different genres and perspectives on its platform. Tiny Desk concerts continue to be a space for authenticity, oftentimes catapulting the popularity of musicians who grace its stage.
Tank and the Bangas, winner of the 2017 Tiny Desk Contest, won their first Grammy for the best spoken word poetry album. Sierra Ferrell swept her nominations, winning in the best Americana album, best American roots song, best Americana performance and best American roots performance categories.
