Recording Academy Extends Membership Invitation To Nearly 3600
The Recording Academy has extended membership invites to over 3600 creators and music industry professionals. Invitations must be formally accepted for invitees to become Recording Academy members. To participate in the Online Entry Process, which gives members the opportunity to submit recordings, music videos and other eligible content for the upcoming GRAMMY Awards, invitees must accept by July 31.
“For today’s music creators, Grammy membership opens up an incredible set of opportunities,” says Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. “Not only do voting members get the chance to honor their peers with GRAMMY nominations and awards, Academy members get access to hands-on experience, skill development to advance their careers, exposure to peers and mentors in the music industry and be part of an organization shaping the future of music.”
This year’s class of invitees is 49 percent women, 56 percent People of Color and 60 percent under the age of 40. New members have the opportunity to participate in many of the Academy’s initiatives such the DREAM Initiative, Advocacy efforts, engage in programming with the Producers & Engineers Wing and Songwriters & Composers Wing, support their peers across the Academy’s 12 Chapter cities and more. Recording Academy Voting Members, a group made up of artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers active in the music industry, are eligible to vote for the Grammy Awards.
