Grammy U Members May Enter Recordings in Grammy Process for First Time


The nearly 8,000 members of Grammy U will be able to submit recordings for the 2026 Grammy Awards for the first time, though they still can't vote.

“A dedicated two-week window for Grammy U submissions at the beginning of the entry period allows for the awards team to provide some extra attention and help to these first-time submitters.” Programs included a Masterclass with Halle Bailey during Grammy Week; a New York conference with Ben Platt, Billy Porter, Remi Wolf and Beanie Feldstein; a Fall Summit with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan; and more than 50 Grammy U Soundchecks – where members get behind-the-scenes looks into how artists prepare for tours and concerts – with artists such as Joy, Laufey, Gracie Abrams, Kacey Musgraves, Twenty One Pilots, Will Smith and Young Miko. In 2024, Grammy U facilitated more than 950 mentorship pairs, with 25 international participants in countries including Brazil, Canada, India, Nigeria, Romania and the U.K.
