Earlier this year, Uchis won her first Grammy for Best Dance Recording with Kaytranada for “10%” and was nominated for her first Latin American Music Award for Favorite Pop Album and was the only female nominated in the category. She also won “Canción Alternativa Rock/Indie” and “Artista Revelación” at Premios Nuestra Tierra in May and her first award at the Univision Premios Juventud awards in July for Nueva Generación – Femenina (New Female Artist). Uchis will also perform at the 34th Hispanic Heritage Awards broadcast on PBS on October 8, where she will be recognized as the 2021 “Inspira Honoree.”
