Most Grammys won by a recording engineer/mixer

Șerban Ghenea (Canada, b. Romania) has won 24 Grammy awards for his work as a recording engineer/mixer. From 56 nominations since 2004, he has been rewarded for his work with the likes of Justin Timberlake (on Best Pop Vocal Album Justified – his first-ever Grammy), Kelly Clarkson, The Weeknd and Sabrina Carpenter, and has won an unrivalled five Album of the Year awards with Taylor Swift (2016, 2021 and 2024), Adele (2017) and Bruno Mars (2018). Ghenea extended his lead over Albert “Al” Schmitt (USA, 1930–2021), who won 20 gongs between 1963 and 2014, when Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” won Best Dance Pop Recording at the 68th Grammy Awards on 1 February 2026.

Ghenea landed six nominations ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, USA, including two Album of the Year contenders (Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend and Lady Gaga’s Mayhem) and three nominations for Record of the Year (Bruno Mars & Rosé’s “APT.”, Carpenter’s “Manchild” and Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra”). Ghenea has received at least one nomination at 14 consecutive Grammy Awards (2013–26).
