The Recording Academy, also known as NARAS, is a privately owned organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 1957 with approximately 1,520 employees, the company functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The organization operates as a professional body, comprised of musicians, producers, engineers, and other music industry professionals dedicated to promoting and recognizing excellence in the recording arts. It is known for its Grammy Awards, which recognize achievements in the music industry concerning songs and music globally.
On April 3, 2026, Dennis Itumbi, Head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy, stated that Kenya expects a significant update regarding the country’s bid to host the Grammy Awards before June of the same year, following public inquiries about the initiative. Previously, on January 6, 2026, the Grammy Awards officially revived the album cover category, marking its return after more than 50 years. This move aims to recognize the significant role of visual artists, including designers, photographers, and art directors, in the music industry. The award, last presented in 1973, will once again distinguish the best album cover of the year, acknowledging the enduring importance of album art in an age dominated by streaming.
