Afrobeats star Davido has been accepted as a voting member of the Recording Academy, the organisation behind the GRAMMY Awards. Becoming a voting member, the Nigerian hitmaker will be part of a global community of music professionals who determine the awards in the 2026 GRAMMY ceremony. Confirming his nomination, the Recording Academy shared a video of Davido and other members in an Instagram post on Tuesday. I am honoured to be part of the Recording Academy community, and I look forward to voting.”Davido’s inclusion follows a wider push by the Recording Academy to broaden and diversify its membership, a trend that has seen increasing representation from African artists and other international acts. The move gives the Feel crooner, who earned three GRAMMY nominations in 2024, a vote in the Academy’s nomination and final-ballot processes.
