Davido becomes voting member of Grammy recording academy

Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially become a voting member of the Recording Academy, the body responsible for the GRAMMY Awards

This milestone means the Nigerian hitmaker will now help shape the outcome of the 2026 GRAMMY Awards by participating in the nomination and final ballot process.

The Recording Academy confirmed his inclusion on Tuesday, posting a video on Instagram featuring Davido alongside other members.

The caption read, “Creating a song or an album takes heart, time, and dedication. ✨ That’s why Recording Academy members including #Davido, #ravynlenae, #offsetyrn, #jessiereyez, #zacbrownband, #anneakikomeyers, #miles.minnick, #mayaelizabethmusic, #damiensneed, #damarismusica, and #stewart_copeland are sharing why your participation matters.”

Davido, who earned three GRAMMY nominations in 2024, expressed excitement over his new role.
“Understanding the importance of how our voices are heard, I am participating in the GRAMMY Award process. It is a game-changer. I have learned that voting empowers you to have a say in what is considered and voted on in each season. I am honoured to be part of the Recording Academy community, and I look forward to voting.”

His inclusion comes as part of the Academy’s ongoing efforts to expand and diversify its membership, with more African and international artists taking part in the process.

Voting for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards opens on October 3.
