The Recording Academy kicked off Grammy week with its Women In the Mix event, that aimed to celebrate 'contributions by women across the industry.'

The first in-depth conversation of the night took place between rapper-DJ-actressand singer-percussionist Sheila E. The two spoke about their lengthy history as Los Angeles chapter members of the Recording Academy, the need to amplify women’s voices in the industry and create more opportunities for women to enter the industry, as well as how the pandemic has impacted their work and mind.

Next up, the Academy delivered a segment called 5 Questions that featured country singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress. She recalled how industry veteran Kara DioGuardi first showed her she could both write and sing, and encouraged her to sharpen her songwriting skills to better help others and herself down the road. The advice paid off, as it pushed Andress to pull from even more personal experiences that connected with fans on a deeper level .

Lazar said though she knew the gap is quite prominent, she was surprised after learning that just 2.6% of producers and engineers across popular music dating back to 2012 were women, according to a recent study by USC Annenberg. As a result, she felt inspired to make a “quantifiable difference” in increasing that statistic. To start, Moving The Needle will provide eight scholarships for women-identifying audio engineers and producers, with goals of expanding that reach in the future.

Grammy Award ratings drop 51 percent to record lowThe audience for the Grammys plunged to a record low of 9.2 million - less than half of last year's viewership. It's a concerning trend for TV execs who have seen similar steep declines for the Golden Globes and Emmys. I think this can easily be summed up by most people thinking they're going to see a Zoom version of these shows and they're not interested. And really.... it's only marginally removed from that. A woke Hollywood is a broke Hollywood... It’s great news for the obviously growing number of us who don’t want to watch that trash.

Grammy Award ratings drop to record low after 51 percent declineThe huge decline in ratings is enough for television executives to worry about whether this is just pandemic-related or if they can no longer depend on these traditional attention-getting events.
