Alya Michelson posted on her Instagram "we got a #Grammy." There's a photo of her standing with the group White Sun who just won a Grammy for Mystic Mirror for Best new age, ambient or chant album. The photo is not on the stage but somewhere with a backdrop like a Grammy party or something. It also doesn't appear to be the Red Carpet which has a different backdrop. The full text reads "So proud of this milestone and collaboration with @whitesunmusic! We got a #Grammy #recordingacademy! I am feeling this energy and saving for my next record!" People are telling her congratulations and she's saying "Thank you darling."
The thing is I don't see her name mentioned in their website anywhere. It's also not on the album as far as I can tell. There is no photo of her on the Grammy stage with the group. Here is the photo of the Grammy winner. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTW976JZ5T/ They don't thank Alya but thank everyone else. I can only assume maybe a music producer, editor, musician she paid or hired knows the group and got her into a Grammy event and she asked for a photo with them. Or maybe Alya Michelson is giving money to a producer just to say she's legally a co-producer or something. Or maybe she's just a friend of one of the group members? It appears to be just more fake wanna be musician news from Alya Michelson. This is sad.
Here is their acceptance speech. So ungrateful! They didn't thank Alya! They didn't allow Alya to be on the stage with them! These people were on stage, Adam Berry, Harijiwan and Gurujas Khalsa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5zcyg3V6Zo
I just listened to some of their music. It's very good. Obviously, they just won their second Grammy. I'd buy it if I had money to buy music. Thankfully it's free on YouTube to listen.

I just found a connection between Alya and White Sun. She just likes their music. From late 2020 "Q) What album/band are you currently listening to, and why do you dig them? A) I started recently practicing kundalini yoga and came across the White Sun band. This is something that I have “on replay.” She also says she was a part of their album "The Album “Mystic mirror” by @whitesunmusic, which I was a tiny part." Then why isn't she mentioned in it?
UPDATE: Alya now states 2/7 "Shiny red carpet moment . Celebrating my first win with @whitesunmusic for the Best New Age Album, where I was a guest vocalist. Thank you Academy for such a beautiful event! Humbled and grateful."
She's not listed on the album. She didn't get credit. There were probably many voices and sounds on the album. Did she pay to be on the album? Did she pay for the limo ride? Why wasn't she on stage giving the above speech to the Academy herself? Who were those people on stage actually holding the Grammy? (facetious). Does she really think she won a Grammy?! :-D This is just so embarrassing. I'm cringing just seeing her texts.
