AWARD SEASON 2025
Who doesn’t love being on a Long List…. especially when it’s the GRAMMY’S! Yes, please!
Received official word today from the Recording Academy (10.01.25), two of my compositions will be on the Grammy First Round Ballot. This is the long list if you will, gearing up for the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards® in February 2026. This is just SUCH good news! Thrilled beyond! The ‘For Your Consideration’ season kicks off October 3rd and runs feverishly right through til October 15th, This voting period, the First Ballot, chooses who will be the lucky 5 Nominees in each of the 95 Grammy Categories! You can view my two FYC Campaigns in the blogs above, they include an FYC for demitasse, and for That Summer. Both songs are vying for Best Instrumental Composition. As a first time GRAMMY® Voter myself, I do welcome FYC’s as well! If you’re a Recording Academy Member do send at your convenience! Honoured to be listening to these incredible works of musical Art.
