"I would like to wish my friend Paul on his well-deserved win at the 58th Grammy Awards, and would like to thank him, Wouter and Ciro for making me a part of their beautiful projects.
"After winning the Grammy Award last year, I feel thrilled and humbled to have been part of a Grammy Award Winning Album and two Grammy Nominated Albums this year," Ricky told PTI.
