This is really all he says about Lana: 

 

“It didn’t hit me at first,” Hermosa said of the honor. “I’m happy for Lana and everyone on the team that worked on the album. It has been a whirlwind and I don’t think I’ve processed it all.”

 

“It became something I was always doing,” Hermosa said. “Every morning, I would get up and strum on the guitar.”

That habit of strumming chords and seeing where they might take him was directly behind the song “Let the Light In.”

“I was in one room just strumming some chords and Lana was in another and she could hear it and she started coming up with the lyrics. She came out and asked me to play it again and that’s how we got that song.”

 

On his instagram story he also said Turlock (his hometown) has the best taco truck, lol.

Mike Hermosa finally has an occasion to wear the gold Omega watch left to him 11 years ago upon his grandfather’s passing.

The Turlock native is nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year as a songwriter on Lana Del Rey’s “Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?” Hermosa has songwriting credits on five songs on the album: “The Grants,” “Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd?” “Let the Light In,” “Peppers,” and “Taco Truck x VB.” He also produced the “Did You Know There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd?” track.

“I’ve been waiting for something special to come along, like a premiere to wear the watch to,” Hermosa said. “It’s been sitting in my sock drawer for 11 years and now I finally have a reason to pull it out.”

Yeah he gets a trophy if Lana wins AOTY too. He deserves it for helping write Peppers, LTLI, DYK, and The Grants tbh.

he attended a producer specific grammy event a few days back and he's at a special merit grammys ceremony right now according to his instagram. it must be so odd to be getting awards for something you did with your ex for like a few months 😭

I noticed that some of her best songs are the ones that are written spontaneously.
