👏 65 years ago today the #RecordingAcademy was born to represent the voices of performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, and all music professionals.
What began as a meeting between the Founder's Committee — a group of record executives — in 1957 has now blossomed into an Academy that
✨ Advocates on behalf of music creators
✨ Celebrates artistic excellence through the #GRAMMYs
✨ Supports music people in times of need through @MusiCares
✨ Invests in its future through the @GRAMMYMuseum, @GRAMMYU@BlackMusicCollective, and our internship program.
🎶 As we look back today, we also look forward and remain committed to ensuring we represent the diverse music community that makes up the music industry at large.
