Natalia Ramirez, M.A. ’17, won her 4th Latin GRAMMY® Award as the vocal engineer for the Best Pop Vocal Album ('Mis Manos' by Camilo). Natalia stated: “Winning is a recognition for the entire team (artistic and technical) and their effort as a unit, which is something I learned while I was a student at Frost. To me, a win only serves as motivation to keep working hard towards the best possible sound I can accomplish with my vocals.”
