Béla Fleck is often considered the premier banjo player in the world. A New York City native, he picked up the banjo at age 15 after being awed by the bluegrass music of Flatt & Scruggs. Since releasing his first solo album in 1980, Fleck has continued to make a name for himself on countless solo and ensemble projects as a virtuoso instrumentalist.

The recipient of multiple Grammy Awards going back to 1998, Béla Flecks' total Grammy count is 19 wins and 43 nominations. He has been nominated in more different categories than anyone in Grammy history.
