Grammys CEO Urges Fair Voting Practices Among Academy Members
Harvey Mason Jr. calls for integrity and impartiality in the upcoming Grammy Awards voting process, emphasizing the impact on artists' careers.
- Mason stresses the importance of voting based on the current year's work, not past performances or personal biases.
- The letter addresses concerns about bias, grudge-holding, and careless voting within the Academy.
- First-round voting for the 67th Grammy Awards will take place from Oct. 4 to Oct. 15, with final voting from Dec. 12 to Jan. 3.
- Mason's letter was prompted by a disturbing comment from a previous Grammy voter about dismissing an artist based on a decade-old performance.
- The 67th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for Feb. 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
