METTE signed with Ruby Anton, Nick Bobetsky & Marc Jordan of State of the Art for management.
METTE is self-released, booked by WME & published by Warner Chappell Music.
Mette Towley, professionally known as METTE, is a multi-talented artist from Minnesota who emerged from being a professional dancer for Pharrell's dance troupe to a rising musician. Born on May 31, 1991, she first gained recognition through her iconic performance in the N.E.R.D and Rihanna "Lemon" music video and has since expanded her artistic repertoire across dance, acting, and music. In 2023, she released her debut EP METTENARRATIVE, featuring singles like "Mama's Eyes" and "Van Gogh," which showcase her eclectic musical style blending dance, electronic, and pop influences.
Beyond music, she has appeared in films like Hustlers and Barbie, and has been recognized by major media outlets including Vogue, NME, and The Guardian as an emerging cultural icon. In 2024, she continued to build momentum, opening for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London and receiving a nomination for the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song.

Coming Soon: NIF & ROSTR GRAMMY Voter Guide
Nov 13, 2025
This year we're introducing the NIF & ROSTR GRAMMY Voter Guide. A fully interactive, digital-first, modern guide for GRAMMY voters (and industry observers).
🚫 No opinion, no fluff… no glossy photoshoots of the suits behind the scenes.
The guide covers all 95 categories, 497 nominations & 755 nominees and contributors. Everything is linked so voters can explore the awards, the nominations, the data, and the people credited – all in one place. We're even including media so people can actually, you know, listen to the nominations.
The guide will be supported by FYC ads, but we're doing it differently:
Category-exclusive FYC – if you buy a category, you’re the only FYC ad on that category’s pages. No clutter, no competing ads. Pricing sensitive to category prominence.
Context + intent – FYC ads run exactly where voters are comparing options in your category, not font-loaded on pages everyone flips past.
Non-intrusive + tasteful – Readers come first, because, if you want someone to see your ad, they need to actually be paying attention in the first place.
First come, first served – once a category’s sold, it’s sold.
