The FYI Thanksgiving Holiday Schedule

Team FYI is taking the last long weekend before Christmas off, so our next scheduled newsletter is a week from today. We will, however, be updating the website between if and when important news is breaking.


To our readers, thanks for following us, continue to keep us informed on your news and views, and please take time to relax and embrace family and friends on this long weekend. We know the past year and more have been taxing, and we also know how important it is to set our personal anxieties to one side and celebrate when and where we can with those closest to us.

Cirkut, winner of Best Dance Pop Recording, Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, and Best Pop Vocal Album for "MAYHEM," poses in the press room during the 68th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 01, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.

Cirkut Won Both Grammy & Juno Awards for Producer of the Year: Who Else Has Done That?

Just two other producers have doubled up — and just one other has done it in the same calendar year.

Cirkut is on a historic awards roll. On Feb. 1, he won the Grammy for producer of the year, non-classical. On March 28, he won the Juno Award in his native Canada in the same category (since 2002, the award has been named in honour of Jack Richardson, the late Canadian producer who is probably best known in the U.S. for helming The Guess Who’s 1970 smash “American Woman.”)

Cirkut (born Henry Russell Walter) is just the second producer to win both awards in the same calendar year. The first was David Foster, who took both awards in 1985, when his big credit was the hit-laden Chicago 17. One other producer, Daniel Lanois, has won both awards, but he has yet to win both in the same year.
