How to win the Grammy – reveals the CEO of Award
A video of Mason Harvey, the CEO of the Recording Academy, sharing some important points on how to win the Grammys has got people talking.
During an interview with reporters, he shared that for every artist to win a Grammy Award, must first be a registered music trademark in the United States.
Second, they never choose the best artist based on record sales or streams or even fan base. Instead, they decide based on the quality of the art being created.
Mason also stated that the awards are won solely based on the opinion of the Recording Academy board members, which can sometimes be subjective.
