The Collective Voice of Music Creators
Recording Academy membership recognizes music creators and professionals whose work shapes the music industry. As a member, you join a peer-driven community where creators advocate for their rights, support one another and help determine the outcome of the Grammy Awards process.
Membership begins with a recommendation from two music industry peers.
What Membership Means
Membership is more than a credential. It’s how the people who make music protect their craft, build community and help shape the future of the industry.
