Billings enlarged the Grammy a few years ago. They were kind of dainty and delicate. The new one is more impressive. He can get through about 16 to 20 pieces in a day. The Latin Grammys already have more than 50 categories.
Some years are particularly rough if a winning album has a lot of people working on it.
But he got a little slack last year. Last year was a small year. Winners like Sheryl Crow and Lauryn Hill produced their own albums. This year, Billings and his wife, Alice, will travel to the ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Despite being the man behind the statues, he doesn't always get treated like a king.
