# Musician: Award Cross-Search

## When to use
When a musician question mentions Grammy nominations, wins, or other music awards — or when the artist's award history could serve as a distinctive search anchor.

## Technique
Grammy and other music award records are well-documented and highly searchable. When a question references award history, use it as a primary search anchor because award databases contain structured, verifiable data.

Approach:
1. Extract award clues: category, year, nominated/won, which song or album
2. Search the award + year + category to find the shortlist of nominees/winners
3. Cross-reference nominees with other constraints in the question (nationality, birth year, genre)
4. Verify the matching candidate against all remaining constraints

Awards are also useful as secondary verification: after finding a candidate through other means, check if their award history matches the question's clues.

## Query Templates
- `"Grammy [year] [award category] winner nominees"`
- `"[musician name] Grammy [year] [award category]"`
- `"[award name] [year] Best [category] [nationality] artist"`

## Worked Examples
**related — Otto Knows:** After identifying the Swedish EDM scene, verified with `"Otto Knows "Million Voices" 2012 childhood inspired film TV Grammy award"` — Grammy-related keywords helped confirm the specific track.

**related — Shin Hae-chul:** Used award and career milestone searches as part of cross-verification after identifying the candidate through life event anchoring.

## Anti-pattern
Ignoring award mentions in the question. Grammy nominations and wins narrow candidates dramatically — a specific category + year combination typically has fewer than 10 nominees. Always exploit this constraint.
