A significant French music presence at the Grammy Awards at the weekend with Gesaffelstein picking up the trophy for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for his work on the track Abracadabra by Lady Gaga.
Gesaffelstein worked with her on the 2025 album Mayhem, co-writing four tracks and co-producing three, and also featuring on the track Killah.
Abracadabra was released as a single in February 2025 and reached the UK top five, and achieved platinum status in France
The song incorporates elements of the Siouxsie And The Banshees song Spellbound, the members of the band at the time getting co-writing credits on Abracadabra.
It was a lowkey winner's speech from Gesaffelstein - he didn't speak a word - but it was a memorable appearance on the winner's podium. It took me a while to figure out what was going on when I saw the initial photos of him, but it's a lot clearer in the video.
French acts have done well in this category at the Grammy Awards before, with David Guetta, Cedric Gervais, and Justice amongst the previous winners.
Lady Gaga had also been nominated for Album Of The Year, and Record Of The Year for Abracadabra, as well as Best Pop Solo Performance for Disease
She won the Best Pop Vocal Award for the album Mayhem and Best Dance-Pop Recording for Abracadabra.
Lady Gaga put on a performance of the track in her own unique style during the show.
