Grammys take on renewed purpose amid LA Fires

After devastating fires ripped through several areas of Los Angeles in January, the Grammys announced this year's show would be focused on fundraising for relief efforts across the city.

"The GRAMMYS will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles," read a Jan. 13 letter sent to Recording Academy members.

The fires, which were fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, left at least 29 people dead and destroyed thousands of structures across the region.

Thousands of firefighters battled wildfires across 45 square miles of densely populated Los Angeles County.

Throughout the Grammys broadcast, viewers, attendees and sponsors will have the opportunity to donate to recently formed partnerships between the Recording Academy and MusiCares, Direct Relief, the California Community Foundation and the Pasadena Community Foundation, all of which are looking to support those affected by the fires.

Viewers will have the chance to donate to specifically support music professionals who are affected by the fires or donate to larger wildfire relief efforts.

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. addresses past Grammys criticism

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. took to the stage to speak about the work the organization has done in recent years to diversify and provide transparency in how it gives out awards.

"What we all want is an organization dedicated to the well-being of all music makers and one that reflects the entire music community, for now and for future generations," he said. "So, over the past few years, we have listened, we've acted and we've changed."

Mason pointed to the creation of initiatives like Black Music Collective, Women in the Mix and Academy Proud, as well as the organization having "completely remade" its membership. He said more than 3,000 women voters have joined and that the voting body is younger and comprises nearly 40% people of color, with 66% of members having joined since the "transformation began."

"It's a system rooted in fairness, integrity and the principle that every voice in our community matters," he said of today's organization. "Now, charting a new course is never easy. There's still work to be done, but I firmly believe we're on the right path."

He added, "As we've seen tonight, music is a powerful force for good. It heals us. It unites us. And we need that in this city right now."
