Daniel Nigro has taken the Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, trophy at the 2025 Grammys, ahead of Alissia, Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II, Ian Fitchuk, and Mustard. With recent credits including close collaborations with Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan, the Long Island producer triumphed in his second consecutive year of nomination in the category. His first-ever Grammy win was back in 2022, for his work on Rodrigo’s Best Pop Vocal Album winner Sour.

“I’d like to thank my wife, Emily; my daughter, Saoirse; my manager, Ian; Island Records; Interscope; Chappell Roan; Olivia Rodrigo; Dana Meyerson; Sony,” Nigro said during his acceptance speech. “And, lastly, my friend Justin Raisen, who, we grew up together; we started hanging out when we were five years old, and I got him into guitar. He got me into production. We’re both here tonight, I think because of each other probably, so, thank you.”

In winning the award, Nigro breaks the three-year winning streak of Jack Antonoff, whose fallow year in the category follows his string of hits for the likes of Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey.
