FMG Artist Gotye Wins Three Grammys

Frequency Media Group is pleased to congratulate Wally de Backer and his Kiwi collaborator Kimbra on their three Grammy Awards for Alternative Music Album, Pop Duo/Group Performance and the prestigious Record of The Year at the 2013 Grammy Awardceremony in L.A. yesterday.

Wally says: "It's been amazing and I don't take it for granted.

I'm particularly pleased that my album "Making Mirrors" has been acknowledged as well as the single. Hopefully this means there's a place for adventurous, interesting music out there - and for completely silly music too!"

The awards are the icing on the cake for an incredible 18 months since the release of Gotye's third album Making Mirrors. That album sold over 2 million copies worldwide and was a Top 10 album in over 25 countries, won multiple ARIAs in Australia and its equivalents abroad and spawned the hit single, 'Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)'. STIUTK has sold over 13.5 million singles, was viewed over 373 million times on Youtube and was the most streamed song globally on Spotify in 2013. It was the #1 iTunes single in over 50 countries.

Last week, Gotye played the last show of an 18-month world tour with a memorable gig in India last week. Next week? He'll be resting. A lot.
