Alex Warren speaks out after suffering audio glitch at Grammys
Alex Warren suffered a pesky earpiece fault during his debut performance at the Grammy Awards.
Alex Warren has spoken out after technical problems disrupted his performance during Sunday night’s (01.02.26) Grammy Awards.
The Best New Artist nominee took to the stage at the Crypto.com Arena to perform his viral smash Ordinary, but viewers quickly spotted that something wasn’t right. Warren appeared to battle with his in‑ear monitors throughout the live broadcast from Los Angeles, with fans commenting online that the audio seemed out of sync as he tried to stay on track.
After the ceremony, the singer addressed the moment directly on Instagram.
He posted a clip revealing the distorted, delayed sound he said was playing through his earpiece during the performance, giving fans a clearer idea of what he was dealing with on stage.
He wrote: “When you’re performing at the Grammys and all you hear is this in your ears."
Warren quipped in the caption: “This would only happen to me…”
Speaking on the red carpet, Warren admitted that his recent success has changed his outlook.
The Bloodline hitmaker - whose songs are inspired by worship music - quipped to People: "I had to delete all of my DMs the minute this all happened. There were like 400 of them. There’s probably a restraining order. I don’t know."
Meanwhile, Warren previously confessed that his music knowledge is limited.
The singer explained that he was actually making a conscious effort to improve his own knowledge of other artists.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "Everyone’s always asked me [what music] I know, and I’m like, ‘I have no idea who these people are and I wish I did.’ So I’ve been really trying to put myself out there and like other music.
"I’ve been listening to a lot of albums – that’s something I wasn’t doing before."
Warren admitted to being a big fan of Charli xcx’s Brat album, which featured the singles Von Dutch, Apple, and 360.
He said: "I liked it a lot. I was like, ‘Wow, I’ve never listened to music like this before,’ from start to finish. It’s been interesting."
Warren has also been surprised by the impact of his own music.
He explained: "I’ve realised after playing live shows that these songs are helping people. I think that’s important."
