Insight - A Celebration of Creation
2/26/2013
IT’S GRAMMY time! Welcome to our
annual issue profiling this year’s
top nominees.
The awards mean something
different to everyone: We all have
our opinions on which wins were
earned, or which categories are
legit, but the truth is, fans drive
the success of any artist, and the
music industry’s highest honors
are no exception.
To outsiders, the awards
process seems secretive, shrouded
in mystery. But in reality, it
involves the collective input of
12,000 professionals from all walks
of the music business, whose
common denominator is their love
of music. You’re not going to agree
with all of the nominations, but
that’s the beauty of the diversity of
our musical community.
Without exception, there is
a creative team behind every
nominated work. These projects
are never the total vision or
execution of one person; everyone along the line, from the songwriter
to the mastering engineer,
contributes to the success of any
great recording.
The nominees profiled in
this issue don’t have much in
common musically, or take the
same approach in the studio, but
there is a common thread: talent,
commitment to their craft, and the
ability to create something special
that resonates with music lovers.
So cheers to the nominees, and
here’s to another great year
in music.
