Children’s music artist Claudia Robin Gunn is thrilled to announce she has recently been invited to join the Recording Academy as a voting member.
In the words of the Recording Academy 'Music is truly universal and has the power to change lives. It transcends barriers, brings people together, and inspires future generations’.
There is a concerted effort across the industry to widen the diversity of membership, with the Recording Academy stating “The 2021 class of invitees is 48% female, 32% Black or African American+, 13% Hispanic or Latino/a/x+, and 4% Asian or Pacific Islander+. The Academy's existing membership represents 26% female and 27% from traditionally underrepresented groups. Since setting the goal of adding 2,500 women voting members by 2025, 831 women have joined the Recording Academy's voting membership, putting the organization 33% closer to reaching that milestone.”
As a member of MMF, IMNZ and Kiwi Kids Music in New Zealand, Claudia is excited to now also take the the opportunity to work with her global peers in the Academy to build a stronger, more vibrant creative ecosystem.
