ACADEMY TO HONOR URBAN IN D.C.

Keith Urban will receive the Recording Artists' Coalition Award at the annual Grammys on the Hill Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., on 4/5.

Urban is being honored for his commitment to music education programs such as the Academy's Grammy Camp, which offers high school students an interactive summer music experience. He has supported the Recording Academy's grant-based education initiatives and participated in the Grammy U Soundchecks program.

"An engaged member of the music community and The Recording Academy for many years, Keith is an outstanding music citizen and supporter of the future of music,” Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow said. “It is our great pleasure to honor and recognize his dedication at Grammys on the Hill."

Grammys on the Hill also recognizes legislators who have improved the environment for music by advocating for music creators' rights.

The awards take place at the Hamilton Live the day before the Recording Academy’s Grammys on the Hill Advocacy Day, which sees hundreds of music professionals from across the country visiting lawmakers.
