How to win a Grammy from the CEO of the Grammy Awards

Harvey Manson Jr., the CEO of the Recording Academy, organisers of the Grammy Awards, has revealed how winners of the prestigious prizes are selected.

He said anyone who wants to win a Grammy must be “voted for by a member of the recording academy” who are music professionals in the United States.

Manson said Grammy Awards are won purely based on the viewpoints of the board members of the Recording Academy, which could sometimes be “subjective”.

The Recording Academy CEO clarified that winners are not voted for by “neither committees, labels, or journalists”.

He also disclosed that they do not take into account a singer’s huge sales, streams, and fan base but pick winners purely based on the “quality of their art”.

“You have to understand that the only way to win is to have the member of the academy vote for you. To be a member of the academy you have to be a professional, working in music in the United States for now. Hopefully, we grow that,” he said.

“But right now, if you are working professionally in the United States you can become a member of the recording academy. Once you are a member of the recording academy, all the music is submitted, the members listen to it and they evaluate it on the quality of the art. Not the sales, not the streams, not how many fans, but purely on the opinion. It is very hard, as you all know because it is subjective.

“It is no best song or best record, it is just the opinion of that membership of that particular year. That is how you win a Grammy. The voters vote. There is no committee, no journalist, and there are no labels. It is the music professionals voting for their peers.”

During an interview with journalists, he shared that for any artist to win a Grammy Award, they must first be a registered music brand in the United States. Two, they never pick the best artist based on sales of the records or streams or even by their fanbase

I am not a woman b£ater. I only slapped her after she disrespected my mum- singer Lhilfrosh says three years after his ex, Taiwo, called him out for physically ass@ulting her

in October 2020, Taiwo came online to accuse the singer who was then signed with Davido’s DMW label of physically ass@ulting her. She released photos of her swollen eye. A criminal case was filed against the singer by Taiwo in February 2021. However, after much persuasion, both parties settled their rift and Taiwo withdrew the case on March 14, 2022. During the crisis, LilFrosh was dropped by Davido who condemned his action.

In a video shared online today January 27, the singer said no one gave him the opportunity to clear his name when the incident happened. He claimed he isn’t a woman b£ater. According to him, he had an argument with Taiwo after she disrespected his mum and in the process he sl@pped her.

He also appealed to his former boss, Davido, to forgive him.
