Toronto songwriter Scott Zhang and Montreal conductor Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin emerged as early winners at the Grammy Awards.
Zhang picked up best R&B song as part of the team behind SZA's "Saturn."
N茅zet-S茅guin landed his fifth career Grammy win, which he shared with actor Bradley Cooper and the London Symphony Orchestra for their work on the music in Netflix's film "Maestro."
The group won best compilation soundtrack for visual media with the album 鈥淢aestro: Music By Leonard Bernstein.鈥�
The Grammy awards were handed out during a pre-broadcast ceremony where most of the winners are announced. It's streaming live from Los Angeles on the Grammys website and YouTube.
Zhang accepted his Grammy alongside several of his SZA collaborators by thanking his parents and noting that he just moved to the city a day earlier.
