Music’s biggest night is approaching, and naturally it’s given us a few things to update you on.

He joked with Jimmy about his early days in the industry, while also giving a great deal of context to the history he’s seen in his 30 year old career. Click here to check it out.

If you do click over to check the interview out, you will see Jimmy try to get answers out of LL about the evening’s guests.  The Grammy MC was quick to avoid many of the specifics thrown at him, but some key names were added to an already impressive long list of chat toppers. Hunter Hayes Nine Inch Nails, Queens of The Stone Age, and Lindsay Buckingham were announced as performers earlier this week, while Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande are to present.

One of the details that we’re excited about, and that we think you absolutely need to keep an eye out for, is the Grammy Foundation’s first annual music educator award!

From what we can tell, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.  The Grammy Foundation released a brief bio video of him talking about his life.  We wanted to make sure to share it with you so, Click here and enjoy.

If that isn’t enough teen pop fans can look forward to You Tube star turned YMCMB signee Austine Mahone debut his new song called “MMM Yea” as part of his new Aquafina commercial.  The tune is said to feature Pitbull, so it’s probably worth a listen. Check out more details here.
