A New Zealand tenor is basking in Grammy gold after a recording he features on took away top honours at the awards held in the entertainment capital of the world.

Simon O'Neill who hails from Ashburton sang a solo in the Los Angeles Philharmonic recording of Mahler's Symphony No 8, which won the award for Best Choral Performance.

It was one of two Grammys the recording was nominated for.

He spoke to Lisa Owen from Munich in Germany where he's on a job.
