Songwriters & Composers Wing

The Recording Academy Songwriters & Composers Wing Supports and advocates on behalf of all songwriters and composers within the Recording Academy’s membership and the industry at large

Without a song, there is no music. The Recording Academy’s Songwriters & Composers Wing represents a vast and diverse community of music creators within these crafts.

Working collaboratively with the Academy’s membership base and ecosystem of all music creators, the Wing fosters recognition of all genres of songwriters and amplifies their unique role in policy discussions that seek fair compensation for creators.

Through educational offerings including panels, mixers, songwriter retreats and mentorship, the Wing will provide opportunities for recognition, networking and collaboration, and welcomes the prospect of new Academy members.

The Wing will also spotlight emerging opportunities for song and scoring achievement within a variety of media on a global basis.
