These history-making category additions are part of a larger set of updates and amendments, which go into effect immediately in 2024 Grammysaimed at making the Grammy Awards process “more fair, transparent and accurate”, according to Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr.
“Each and every amendment was created with exactly this in mind: openness, transparency, fairness,” Mason Jr. told Grammy.com in an interview in June. “Every process that we undertake — every amendment or change to our Awards process that gets initiated — is done to make the process more fair, transparent and accurate. And when we find things that can be improved, we’re in the position now to be able to make those changes, thankfully. Everything you’re seeing now is with the goal of being better and more accurate, honoring more music fairly and in relevant fashion, and making sure the process is transparent, fair and working.”
