"We take care of protecting the ability of our artists, songwriters, and studio professionals to earn a living creating the soundtrack of our lives."

-- Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow on the 54th GRAMMY Awards

The Recording Academy is a membership organization representing individual artists, songwriters, and studio professionals. Along with music fans, we are using technology to enjoy music in more ways than ever before.

While there's an ongoing debate about how music should be protected in today's changing digital world, there should be no debate about the need for creators to be fairly compensated.

Working together - creators, fans, and the tech community - we can find a way to ensure that the music keeps playing for generations to come.

I want to keep the American digital music revolution growing, and believe music makers should be paid for their work. Keep me informed about how we can all work together to benefit music makers and music fans.
