Brief
Audrey Hobert and Malcolm Todd could become first siblings to compete for Grammy Best New Artist
The Pacific Palisades duo, signed to Sony Music labels, have risen in parallel, sparking talk of a historic Grammy showdown.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Pop singers Audrey Hobert (27) and her brother Malcolm Todd (23) are being tipped as potential nominees for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2027, which would make them the first siblings to compete directly in the category, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
What happened
Both artists have climbed the charts this year: Hobert’s 2025 single “Sue Me” entered the Billboard Hot 100 in August after a viral resurgence, while Todd’s 2024 track “Earring” became a TikTok hit and now sits in the top 20 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify’s U.S. chart.
What the reports add
The piece notes that each sibling is signed to a different Sony Music label—Hobert to RCA and Todd to Columbia—yet they share the same corporate parent. It also highlights that their rise has been amplified by social media, with Hobert’s live performances featuring a trampoline intro and Todd’s TikTok popularity extending beyond the platform.
What was said
Todd told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, “I’ve talked to her about it… I’m hoping for my dad,” referring to their TV‑writer‑producer father Tim Hobert and his potential attendance at the ceremony.
How it came about
Hobert began co‑writing songs with Gracie Abrams in 2023 and secured an RCA deal by 2025, while Todd signed with Columbia in 2023, setting the stage for parallel careers that could intersect at the Grammys.
