(The Recording Academy asked some of this year's first-time GRAMMY nominees to collect their thoughts and share what it feels like to be nominated for a GRAMMY.)

R&B singer/songwriter Gallant shares how he learned of his first GRAMMY nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album for Ology, plus why he didn't think a nomination was a possibility. Tune in to the 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS.
