Dom Dolla Talks First Grammy Nomination, Hopes to Bring Mom to Ceremony: 'I Love Sharing These Moments with Family'

After a momentous year, Dom Dolla received his first Grammy nomination for Best Remix Recording for his remix of Gorillaz and Tame Impala's “New Gold,” and to celebrate, he sat down with Advertising signKatie Bain to discuss how she learned about the nod.

“I was in bed, I woke up, checked my phone and started cursing,” he recalls with a laugh. “It was a strange morning. Honestly, back in Australia, it's the only award that all my Australian friends and family understand is music's highest national honour. It was the coolest part. I came home to Australia and all my friends and family were running out.”

He continued, “I was thinking about inviting my mom and bringing her to the Grammys. I love sharing these moments with the family.”

As for where he gets his inspiration to create music, Dom says it's very personal. “A lot of times, it's turning off my phone, having a coffee, going through — I have an inspiration folder of things that I love, whether it's moods or vocals that I like or certain tones or sounds that I really like. ” he explains. “It's just every song I ever heard that I was a fan of growing up I put it in a blender in my head and spit it out the other side.”

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will air live Sunday (Feb. 4) on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. I'm watching Advertising signDom Dolla's full interview above.
