Davido becomes GRAMMY voting member for 2026 awards
Afrobeats star Davido has been inducted as a voting member of the Recording Academy, the body responsible for the GRAMMY Awards.
The new role makes him part of the global community of music professionals who decide nominations and winners for the 2026 GRAMMYs. The Recording Academy confirmed his inclusion in an Instagram post on Tuesday, September 23, featuring Davido alongside other newly admitted members.
“Creating a song or an album takes heart, time, and dedication. That’s why Recording Academy members including #Davido … are sharing why your participation matters,” the Academy wrote.
Davido, who received three GRAMMY nominations in 2024, will now have a say in both the nomination and final-ballot stages of the awards process. Reacting to the milestone, the singer described it as a “game-changer.”
“Understanding the importance of how our voices are heard, I am participating in the GRAMMY Award process. Voting empowers you to have a say in what is considered and voted on each season. I am honoured to be part of the Recording Academy community, and I look forward to voting,” he said.
His inclusion comes as the Academy continues efforts to diversify its membership, with growing representation from African and other international artists. Voting for the 2026 GRAMMYs opens on October 3.
