“Welcome to the Recording Academy Class of 2023. Congratulations to @bienaimesol @iamchimano @itsmefancyfingers and @savarafrica on their invitation to join the @recordingacademy as voting members.”
“The newly invited members epitomize the Recording Academy’s mission to reflect the vibrant global music community we proudly serve,” wrote the band.
