ViviLittleM 3 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/grammys-2015/6436580/grammys-inside-recording-academy-bill-freimuth?utm_source=twitter "This is confusing to a lot of people," Freimuth admits. "We have a handful of voting members on our staff, but it's not the people in our building who are choosing who gets nominated [for Grammys] and who wins. It's the voting members." To become a voting member, you have to meet certain eligibility requirements set by the Recording Academy -- namely, have credits on six commercially-released tracks or credits from 12 digital-only releases. In short, the Grammys are awarded by people who spend more time in the studio than behind desks. "A lot of people see Academy as this ivory tower that makes proclamations on high, but it's really the people who make the music. We're here to serve the process that makes this happen."
