I’m joining the @recordingacademy 🌞 I’m excited to figure out how I can better advocate for other working musicians and it’s great to know other friends are joining too (@punchdouble 👋🏾) It seems like the new membership will represent a wider scope of perspectives, which is great. I’ve never done anything like this before and if the membership manager hadn’t been so helpful and informative, I wouldn’t have even known I wanted to apply let alone know how to. It was simple! If anyone has any questions, I’ll try to be as transparent and helpful as I can along my journey. Consider applying for the next round if you’re interested—my impression is that it’s an organization that is supposed to compromise and act on behalf of working musicians, rather than being some out of reach, out of touch club. The Grammys are thankfully only a small part of the work from what I’ve heard. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn and serve and I only hope the awards can be more reflective of the communities I feel invested in and am a part of. 🥳 Many, many thanks to those who supported me, answered my questions, and wrote recommendations! I hope to pay it forward in future rounds. #iamtheacademy 📸@weirdhours
