His membership allows him to participate in the entire process for the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, officially known as the 66th GRAMMY Awards.
As active members of the Recording Academy, “members play a vital role in shaping the future of the music industry locally via their respective Chapters as well as nationally. Only Recording Academy members, in addition to media companies, can submit their music and works for GRAMMY Awards consideration. Voting Members also determine the annual GRAMMY nominees and ultimate winners each year.
“As well, members can propose amendments to the official GRAMMY Awards Rules and Guidelines, including proposals for new GRAMMY categories and major changes to pre-existing categories. Members can also run for a Recording Academy Board position or Committee, vote in Chapter elections, participate in member-only programs, and support fellow musicians through advocacy.”
