Davido and Deola Art Alade Join Recording Academy as Voting Members
Afrobeats superstar Davido has added another milestone to his already decorated career, as he has officially been inducted as a voting member of the Recording Academy, the body behind the Grammy Awards.
This recognition cements his influence not just as a global artist but also as a cultural voice shaping African music and the music industry as a whole. As a voting member, Davido now has a seat at the table in deciding Grammy nominations and winners, a role that reflects his growing impact on the international stage.
Alongside Davido, Deola Art Alade, CEO of Livespot360 and a leading figure in Nigeria’s creative industry, was also inducted into the 2025-member class. Her inclusion highlights the Academy’s growing embrace of African voices across both music and creative leadership.
The move is also a win for Afrobeats, further solidifying the genre’s global recognition.
