SCOTS Grammy winner Blair Ferguson picked up his gong in LA wearing a tuxedo and a pair of Saltire socks as a nod to his home country.
The 20-year-old music producer, whose career began in his Glasgow bedroom as a teenager, won a Grammy award for his work on SZA's smash hit Snooze.
The song peaked at No2 on the US Billboard charts in July and is the only track to have spent the whole of 2023 in the Billboard Hot 100.
Blair, who worked on the track in a makeshift studio in the attic of his aunt's Kelvindale home, said it was "incredible" to be a winner at the Grammys representing Scotland.

Blair, who has also worked with Diddy, 24kGoldn, and Justin Bieber, added: "It came from a very weird time in my life.
