Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. has announced the 67th GRAMMY awards “in close coordination with local authorities to ensure public safety and responsible use of area resources…will proceed as planned.” The CBS telecast is scheduled for February 2nd and the CEO revealed the show will have a new motive… “raising additional funds to support wildfire relief efforts and honoring the bravery and dedication of first responders who risk their lives to protect ours.” The Recording Academy has already pledged $1-million through their non-profit MusiCares to the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort. Mason Jr. adds 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.” This comes as news major labels like Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group have cancelled all GRAMMY-focused events.
