Recording Academy invites 900 new voting members in diversity push
In an NBC News article, the organization that produces the Grammy Awards has invited 900 new voting members. The invitees are all women and/or people of color and/or under the age of 39, the Recording Academy confirmed in an email. This seems like a promising report but I feel voices are missing as the Recording Academy is very discreet. I hope that by Grammy season, the record will show that there are diverse members of the Recording Academy and of the music industry at large. I think particularly the voices of women of color in the music industry should not be dissected as just gender or just race and that these experiences can intersect.
